In the Newbery Award novel "Little House On The Prairie", written by Laura Elizabeth Ingalls Wilder, talks about the Ingall family (Caroline Ingalls, Charles Ingalls, Mary Ingalls, Laura Ingalls and Baby Carrie) and their time throughout a prairie. At the beginning, the family leave the Big Woods, the place they lived before, and go to a prairie in Kansas, Indian Territory. because the place was overpopulated. Together, the family encounter many events with their friends Mr. Scott, Ms. Scott and Mr Edwards in which they face illness, hardships, danger, risk of death, Native Americans and wild animals. The Native Americans were kicked out because of the conflict between them and the settlers. The story ends where there is news that the government would force the settlers out of the Indian Territory, so the family move away again.
The novel describes a history background where white settlers invade a Native American territory. The book explains the story of white settlers invading an Indian’s territory and their attitude towards the Indians. The settlers’ behaviour towards the Native Americans express how they think it is fair for them to invade and how a treaty can make them do whatever they want to them. Because of the conflict between the white settlers and the Native Americans, the Indians were kicked out, then the settlers by the government. The Ingall family are white settlers to a prairie in Kansas, Indian Territory. At the time, people were migrating into the prairie and the result was the conflict between white settlers and Native Americans. They had war, the Indians were kicked out and finally the settlers were forced to leave due to the illegal settlement. The settlers (Mr. Edwards) thought that “the only good Indian is a dead Indian”, meaning that they wanted all Indians to die even when they took over their land first. It isn’t right for settlers or ‘pioneers’ to claim land when it is a Native American territory or to use a treaty to do whatever they want to the land. It is unfair for people to take away the Native Americans’ home, whether or not they want it. The novel tells us the conflict between the Native Americans and white settlers.
