Answer:

The exchange of livestock allowed Native Americans to have the necessary resources to support themselves.

Step-by-step explanation:

Native Americans did not have the habit of creating any activity aimed at agriculture or livestock. They lived as hunters and gatherers, which weakened them in relation to the colonists and did not allow them to participate in the society that was forming in America.

The development of livestock and the exchange of livestock allowed Native Americans to have the resources necessary for their own survival as skins and meats and allowed them to develop a trade that helped them to survive within the new society.
