What was Alabama transportation like in the days before cars? Did the Alabamas paddle canoes?
Yes--the Alabama Indians made dugout canoes from hollowed-out logs. Most of the time, though, Alabama people usually just walked. There were no horses in North America until colonists brought them over from Europe, so the Alabamas used dogs to help them carry their belongings over land. Today, of course, Alabama people also use cars... and non-native people also use canoes.
