Context- this is the “end of the story” of what happens to the Indians after the settlers have

won the land from them.

The story begins with the Lewis and Clark expedition in 1804 and the first Mountain Men, trailblazers, who make contact with the Indians and

encroach into their environment...the reservations

are the long legacy of the settlers wanting the west...
