When looking at this photo you are able to see the things connecting it to the West. We are able to see that when the American's first arrive, this can be used for settlements. Due to the large rocks/canyon like things, it would provide great cover. The downside of this would be that there is not that much agriculture due to the extreme heat. This would be an issue for them as they would not be able to survive.
The idea of this image being sublime can be seen from many different ways. One of them can be the raw beauty of the ways the Earth has shaped the land. We can see from the ways the rocks stand tall that during sunrise and sunset, it can create beautiful illusions. Due to where the location is, it is another reason to say that it's sublime.
Due to the size of this area, it would be great for settlers to live, the wide open land would be great for taming and looking after animals, this would work well for settlers due to native creatures.
The lack of water and scorching heat could prove to be very uneasy in regards to living. Settlements would be able to be constructed here but due to the heat and very little agriculture, living conditions would be seriously hard if not impossible.
American Indians
The reason in which I found this tribe unique is due to the way they have other allies. Giving the situations when the frontier was happening and they we're losing settlements, it was interesting to see that they did come together and form relations. The Cheyenne means 'Like Hearted People' and the tribe clearly lived up to its reputation. Both Cheyenne of Montana and Oklahoma speak the original Cheyenne language with some minor changes to the vocabulary based on locations. The CHeyennelanguagee happens to be tonal language.
The Cheyenne are a Native American nation of the Great Plains, they spread from southern Colorado to the Black Hills in South Dakota. Back in the 1800s, the tribe splits into two fractions: southern who stayed near the Platte Rivers and then we have the northern tribe near the Black Hills which is near the Lakota tribes.
The first Cheyenne territory was established in Northern Colorado. At the time, The Fort Laramie Treaty granted this territory. Today, we can see the remains of the former territory built up through other cities including Fort Collins, Denver, and Colorado Springs. Just after 1851 is when they lost their land due to the gold rush.
On the website, we can see the different types of images that portray the tribe. We can see just how they live and what they use to travel. We can see a map of where the two fractions are based and the outlying settlements surrounding them. We can see the flag that represents them and we can see the symbol that associates themselves with the tribe.
The website also gives a small insight into the different events that had happened in their time, for example - The Sandcreek Massacre which talks about how the Colorado Militia wiped out a helpless and undefended Cheyenne village. The website also goes on to talk about all the different battles they had and finally how they were gunned down while trying to flee.
