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.**
 * Map 1 shows the location of Native American territories while in Map 2 it shows the location of the United States and other territories. Map 1 shows the time period before 1500 while in Map 2 it shows the time period 1775-1790

**2. Describe three major differences from Map 2 to Map 4.** **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.** **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.**
 * Map 2 shows the time period 1720 while Map 4 shows the time period 1860. Map 2 only shows the east part of the United States while Map 4 shows all of the United States. Map 4 shows us that we obtained land in about 100 years since there are more land in Map 4 than Map 2.
 * The Native American tribes that were affected by the United States government expanding into the Ohio River are the Blackfoot, Crow, Sioux, Cheyenne, Pawnee, and the Shoshone.
 * The Native American tribes that were affected by the United States government expanding as a result of buying the Louisana Purchase are the Shoshone, Ute, Cheyenne, Pawnee, Sioux, Crow, Blackfoot, and the Cree.


 * 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.**
 * I think when the two groups wanted to live in the same area, they fought because they think that their race is more important and more civilized so they will fight since they think each other are barbarians or uncivilized.
