After a Long Walk, Navajo Tribe, Spotted Elk
Surprisingly, when the wagons started moving to the west, they brought along the settlers, who began expanding westward. The native tribes such as the Navajo tribe were forced to walk away from their ancestral land. This photo captured the trauma of the Navajo leaders during the ”Long walk of Navajo.” Soon, some Natives like the Lakota took weapons, and this led to a confrontation with the federal government. This became known as the “Wounded Knee Massacre,” It was a massive massacre where 250 Lakota men, women, and children were killed, including the Lakota Sioux Chief “Spotted Elk.”
Cowboy Dance
Life in the Old West was pretty tough for the settlers and natives, many experienced hardships. But to think of it, both were victims of many diseases, hunger, lawlessness, and selfish ways.

The best thing about it, is as it is free and it’s fun.
