Being from Oklahoma, I have been asked if the indians still live in teepees, and if we still get around on horses. Of course, the answer is that teepees do exist (but only for tourists), and people still ride horses - a lot, but they usually have to get to the horses in their cars (or, more commonly, in their pickups).
