    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Visualizing Expansion Lesson 3: Art and Indian Removal on the Plains]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[In this lesson, students will compare John Gast&#039;s 1872 painting American Progress to Kiowa Indian Etahdleuh&#039;s sketches from Ft. Marion, Florida, where he was held with 71 other Native Americans as a prisoner from 1875 to 1878 after their forced removal from the Southern Plains, where they were perceived as a threat to white settlers. These pieces of art offer complex and conflicting perspectives on the &quot;civilizing&quot; of the Plains region.<br />
Essential Questions: What can maps and art teach us about the past? What does a visual depiction of land reveal about the people who made it? How did Native Americans and white settlers engage with expansion into the Plains differently?]]></dcterms:description>
