> The major difference between maps one and two is that map one shows all the native american land before Europeans settled it and map two shows the same land after it has been settled by European settlers. In map two, Europeans have settled almost all of North America leaving no land for the the original settlers, the Native Americans. Also the boundaries between territories and land change between map one and map 2. > One difference between map 2 and map 4 is that the amount of land owned by American Settlers increased especially on the western border. Also territories have been added (Nebraska, Utah, Washington, New Mexico, and Kansas). Lastly, there is less land for native Americans. > **List  several  Native  American  tribes  that  were  affected  by  the  United**  **States  Government  expanding  into  the  Territory  Northwest  of  the  Ohio**  **R  (River)  in  1787.** > > Some american Tribes that were affected by these changes were the Shawnee, Cherokee, and Miami tribes. > Some tribes that were affected by these changes are the Navaja, Cheyenne, and Pawnee tirbes. > As the two groups want to live in the same area I predict that there will be conflict over the two lands. The Native Americans will fight for the land but fail because of the Settlers advance in weaponry. I also think that the Native Americans will be relocated since the Settlers want to use their land.

 * Slide 4: **
 * Notes: Describe what conflicts you think would arise if settlers moved into this land. **
 * If settlers moved into this land I think that there would be conflict between both sides and possibly there might be some kinda of battle as a result **


 * Slide 5: **
 * Notes: How do you think the painting "American Progress" by John Gast tells the story of what happened when the settlers moved into the Great Plains? **

When settlers moved to the great plains they might have had to battle Native American tribes to seize control of the land. But in the painting there is some sort of gaurdian angel. I think this means that nothing bad will happen and that the settlers believe that god is protecting them and that he destined for them to move into the great plains.

They moved north in the warmer months and south in the cooler months. <span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 9pt; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">2. Why was land ownership important to the settlers? <span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 9pt; line-height: 13.5pt; margin-bottom: 7.5pt; margin-left: 33.75pt; margin-right: 22.5pt; margin-top: 6pt;"> a.

This meant that they could own the land, work on it, and make money to support themselves. <span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 9pt; line-height: 13.5pt; margin-bottom: 7.5pt; margin-left: 33.75pt; margin-right: 22.5pt; margin-top: 6pt;"> b.

To coexist peacefully with Native Americans who lived in the Great Plains. <span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 9pt; line-height: 13.5pt; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-left: 33.75pt; margin-right: 22.5pt; margin-top: 6pt;"> b.

To take control of all land between the East and West Coasts. <span style="color: black; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 9pt; line-height: 13.5pt; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-left: 33.75pt; margin-right: 22.5pt; margin-top: 6pt;"> American settlers believed it was their Manifest Destiny to take control of the entire continent, from the Atlantic Coast to the Pacific Coast. As they settled on the land, they transformed it into what they wanted it to be: farms, railroads, towns, and more.

<span style="font-family: Times; font-size: 12pt; margin-bottom: 0.1pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0.1pt;">Native american viewed land as a place to respect and farm to get food. On the other hand settlers did respect the land as much. They saw the land as an opportunity to conquer and colonize. they destroyed the land and it's greenery. The settlers saw the land as an opportunity to promote buisness and farming. They wanted to use the land for its resources in an unsustainable way. Yet the Native Americans wanted to keep the land healthy.

Imagine that you are a Native American watching the settlers arrive in your region. Write what you see, and then describe how you feel about these new arrivals and how you think they may change the way you live. **

I am a Native American who belongs to the Cherokee. Just hours ago my fellow Cherokee brothers who were hunting returned to the tribe with news that they had seen American Settlers. We have heard stories about these men and all the bad things that they have been doing to other Native Americans. They want to **transform** our native lands for their own uses. They also want to destroy the nature in our land so that they can farm and make something called business. Now that they have arrived, my tribe fears the worst. As we talk with them its seems like they will not peacefully **coexist** with us in this land. They keep mentioning something called a **reservation**. The settlers say that they are nice places where Native Americans like us can live without the interruption of western settlement. I don't think that we should listen to these men. I think that the stories we heard were right. I think that if we allow them to settle here we will lose all of our best land. I also believe that these men will not respect and treat the land the that it should be treated. All of the western land means a lot to us Native Americans. I also think that these reservations will not have good land. From this we will not be able to farm and receive resources from the land as we usually would. Lastly, I believe that during our relocation to these reservations, we will not be treated with the proper freedom and respect that we deserve. I also fear that many of our elders and children will die from the harsh weather conditions and the long journey. I do not like the idea of American settlers coming into Cherokee and other Native American land and settling it. The land should not have a certain ownership. we should all share the land.
