Preview the four maps above. Read the titles, headings, map key, dates and general boundary shifts. 1. Describe two major differences from Map 1 to Map 2. In Map 1 we see that the vast majority of the Native American tribes that have settled in America in the 1500s. In Map 2 we see different states and territories that were formed in the 1790s. One major difference from Map 1 to Map 2 is that Map 1 shows all of the Native American tribes that were settled before the 1500s. It also shows how many different Native Americans there were in the 1500s. This was also before American settlers came in and took away their land. Another major difference was that Map 2 shows how Americans were trying to take over the land in 1790. By this, they were taking and occupying land that Native Americans originally settled on.

2. Describe three major differences from Map 2 to Map 4. In Map 2, once again, shows the different states and territories that have formed from 1500 to 1790. In Map 4 we see America as a whole country with different states and territories that have formed in 1860. Map 2 shows that America didn't really have that much land, but Map 4 shows that the territory increased in America by a large amount. One major difference that in Map 2, there are mostly foreign lands, not that many states, and not much territory. Map 4 on the other hand shows clearly that the state amount and territory amount in America increased dramatically. Another difference was that Map 4 has over twenty states, while Map only has the original thirteen colonies. A third major difference was that in Map 2, the Territory Northwest of Ohio R was only territory, however in Map 4, all that territory became states.

3. 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. Native American tribes that were affected by the U.S. Government expanding in the Territory Northwest of the Ohio R in 1787 were: The Miamis, Wea, Erie, Kickapoo, Ottawa, Chippewa, Illinois, Tamaroa, Peoria, Winchago, Menomini, Sauk-Fox, and many other tribes were also affected.

4. List several Native American tribes that were affected by the US expanding as a result of the US buying the Louisiana Purchase from the French in 1803. Native American tribes that were affected by the U.S. expanding as a result of the Louisiana Purchase in 1803 were: The Wichita, Cheyenne, Pawnee, Ponca, Omaha, Missouri, Oglala, Kansa, Caddo, Blackfoot, Sioux, Hunkpapa, Brule, Wahpeton, and many other Native American tribes were affected by this expansion.

5. In the upcoming lesson, you’ll explore the major differences between Native Americans’ and Settlers’ ideas about land, and what happened when these two groups wanted to live in the same area. Using prior knowledge and the maps above, infer what will happen when these two groups wanted to live in the same areas. Native Americans have been living in the United States since the very beginning of this nation. Settler's took this land away from them and forced Native American tribes to be put into one region. On one hand this could be a very wonderful thing for our nation, on the other hand there will be many disagreements. In these four maps, I see that over the years from the 1500s-1860 that America has changed land-wise. I notice this because of territory and state changes. I believe that when Native Americans' and Settlers' both want to live in the same area, I know that there will be obvious disagreements about land. There also may be some compromises about land distribution. Either way, one group will be severely hurt both physically and mentally by these fights. I personally believe that these disagreements will lead to an even bigger problem, an all-out war.

__ **Directions: Use this document to record all of your work. For the items in red below, first, you must complete the task as directed in the Lesson (for example, take the quiz) then, go to review my work**

**copy and paste your work in the correct sections below. When you are finished with the entire lesson, print this document; however, be sure to save the document as you work.** __**_**

**Slide 4:** Due to a conflict in perspectives over the purpose of land, with Settlers believing that Land was something to be conquered and transformed for their own use, while the Natives believed that the Land was not to be destroyed but rather respected since they believed that the land wasn’t inherited from previous generations but rather borrowed from future posterity. Due to this drastic vary in views, violence is imminent, with Settlers using brute force to drive the Natives out of their land.
 * Notes: Describe what conflicts you think would arise if settlers moved into this land.**

**Slide 5:** American Progress depicts an Angel of some sort, guiding settlers west ward, stringing telephone lines as she goes. This depicts the idea of technology and settlement progressing westward, while she drives Natives out of their lands. The natives are depicted as savage, with smoke and flames arising within their tribes, which further displays how Natives were viewed by the settlers.
 * 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?**

**Slide 6:** Question 1: Answer C Question 2: Answer A Question 3: Answer C   **Slide 7:** Native Americans felt as though they could not violate the land, and that they must respect it. They considered the land to be part of their family, and that they in no way owned this land, and were able to use it’s bountiful resources only if they made sure they didn’t deplete them by respecting the land and being nomadic in their habits. Settlers felt as though that the land was to be conquered and transformed, yielding it to eventually be completely rid of it’s resources, and should this occur, settlers then moved westward with destruction.
 * Results for Multiple-choice Quiz:**
 * Notes: Write at least one way in which Native Americans and settlers viewed the land differently.**

**Slide 8 (one of two tasks)**
 * Notes: Choose two words from the vocabulary list and write a new sentence for each word.**
 * 1) Perspective- The Perspective on how important land was to sustaining life and how it could be cultivated and used varied greatly between Natives and Settlers.


 * 1) Continent: The Su Indian Tribe was Nomadic in the sense that they used resources only to sustain life, never depleting them, and they went from one edge of the continent to the other, using resources wisely and understanding every part of the land.

**Slide 9: Compare It!** **Native American Beliefs:** To take care of the land they lived on and respect the land. They also believed in keeping the land the way it was meant to be- healthy and useful. Also, in order to keep farming, Native Americans kept moving from place to place.
 * Results for Conflict Over Western Lands.**
 * Settler Beliefs:** To conquer and transform the land, as it was said in the belief of manifesting destiny, that land was to be used solely for progression in their own lives, even if it meant destroying it’s resources.

**Conflict Over Western Lands**
 * Final Assignment:**

__Essay Topic #1__

Here I stand, upon land that has been here for thousands of years before I was alive. The land has spirit, it is alive and well, it is as much a part of our Tribe is as myself. We respect the land for what it sustains, and we treat it well. We move, from place to place, but we aren’t nomadic. We know where we’re going. We know every blade of grass that grows, and we use it sparingly. However, Settlers are at bay, slowly encroaching on our land, destroying it for their own needs. And once they’ve destroyed an area of land, they move to another, taking their destruction with them.
