Southeast
Important Native American of the Southeast
Perhaps one of the most capable warriors from the Oglala Lakota (Sioux) tribesmen ever faced by the US military, Makhpiya Luta, his Sioux name, led his people in what is known as Red Cloud’s War. This battle was for the rights to the area known as Powder River Country in Northern Wyoming and Southern Montana. Eventually he led his people during their time on reservation.

A pioneer was a person who settled in a part of the country and prepared it for others. A backwoodsman was a person who lived in the forest far away from towns. Daniel Boone was a pioneer. He explored Kentucky and developed the wilderness, he rode a rout followed by many pioneer traveling west.

Florida is a fancy place
I will like to visit Florida because I want to ask the people how the life was in the past, or if they did a war to take the land or if they traded gold for Florida. That’s why I want to go to Florida.
