The landscape had shaped the culture and the history of these people in their original homelands, and now they had to adapt to a new environment west of the Mississippi River. As the tribes entered their new lands, the one thing they wouldn’t do was move beyond the hills, even though it was the southeastern part of Territory that resembled their homelands in the southeast. They had lived further west, which was treeless, had little rain, and was completely foreign to their experience. In addition, it was there where the Kiowas, Comanches, Wichitas, and Apaches, who were buffalo-hunting, highly mobile societies. Who would raid anyone that would settle on the Southeastern tribes.…
The current problems that surround Aboriginal title is a result of the historical development that transpired when European colonizers decided to claim land ownership over Canada.

Since the 1500’s there have been changes in the Prairie landscape. These changes are due to the settlement of the prairies from European settlers around 1500.

The idea of the West comforts people as it reminds them that their dream of starting a new life can always come true in the open and “uncharted territories” of the West. Nonetheless, now that everyone is migrating West to fulfill their goals in starting anew, the amount of unsettled land is slowly running out and being transforming into the nation’s ways of civilization.

Furthermore, Frederic Remington captures the romanticism behind migrating westward through his artwork as he depicts a cowboy as a natural aristocrat living in a world without the factors of “civilization” in it.…
