 * 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? The painting describes what had happened with the Great Plains when the settlers moved there by saying that the land is changing dramatically. It is becoming a farm land and a city instead of a non-man made land. Settlers moved to these lands to benefit them and to make money and change whatever part they can that would help them. The native Americans didn’t change any land because they know how to live with nature and etc while the settlers can’t. **

Results for Multiple-choice Quiz:
1. How would you describe the Native Americans' perspective on the land? a. They believed it was important to live on one piece of land for their entire life. b. They believed they owned all of the land they lived on, from Mexico to Canada. The Native American groups of the Great Plains generally traveled across the continent from season to season to where conditions were best. They moved north in the warmer months and south in the cooler months. 2. Why was land ownership important to the settlers? Unlike in Europe, where the families of many settlers came from, land ownership in America was available to many. This meant that they could own the land, work on it, and make money to support themselves. b. They could keep the land in its natural state. c. They believed it made them equal to Native Americans who already owned land. 3. What did settlers believe was their Manifest Destiny? a. To coexist peacefully with Native Americans who lived in the Great Plains. b. To set up governments to manage the Native American populations. 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.

== Notes: Write at least one way in which Native Americans and settlers viewed the land differently. ==
 * Slide 7: **

== One way the Native Americans and settlers viewed the land differently was by viewing nature as something to be very different. The settlers think that nature is something that can be changed to benefit them and make it whatever they want the land to be. In the result of changing the land their resources went limited and made them look for other lands. While the Native Americans believe that the land is something that they should take care of and respect and keep it well for the future generations to use, or to keep the resources found in the land fresh and plentiful. ==

Slide 8 (one of two tasks)
== Notes: Choose two words from the vocabulary list and write a new sentence for each word. == == Native Americans coexisted with their land with nature but the settlers chose not to do that. == == The settlers transform the land into something totally different and destroyed whatever was here first forever. ==

== The Native Americans had access to the land they are living on and respected it while keeping the nature all natural. The settlers believe that god has chosen them to use the land whatever they want and it wasn’t the Native Americans. The settlers didn’t use the lands as well compared to the Native Americans. ==


 * Conflict Over Western Lands **

== The Native Americans and the Settlers all had different ways of how the lands should be used. The Native Americans respected their lands and everything that existed. They coexisted with nature and their perspective on it was well organized and respected. They believed that keep the land the way it is would help out everyone that would come to live there next in the future. The food and resources was kept balanced and plentiful, and they were in peace. The settlers came and decides to live on the same land as the Native Americans did. They believe that the land that they found did not belong to them because they think that god wanted them to live there. So the settlers decides to transform the land into something that would help them live more better and obtain money, food, and a lot of resources. Over the time the resources became limited and the settlers had moved once again. The land became totally destroyed and changed drastically over the times the settlers set foot there. The perspective of land between the Native Americans and the settlers are very different. I believe that the Native American’s perspective on land seems like a better choice than to change it. Their way was more peaceful. ==
