The purpose of this work is to discern Native American initial perceptions of the Prairie Plains by examining and comparing environmental attitudes of various Indian groups asked to accept reservations in the Prairie-Plains between 1830-1854. During this period the United States government was implementing its policy of Indian Removal. By 1854, Kansas and Nebraska had achieved territorial status and Indian reservations were in the process of being reduced to accommodate settlers.
