This presentation will analyze the cultural exchange between Norwegian settlers and local indigenous groups during the time of the Homestead Act of 1862. This analysis will give researchers a better understanding of those who settled the Great Plains and how they interacted with people of whom had been living on said land for centuries. This project looks at primary sources such as information from trading posts, newspapers, and personal record; while secondary sources such as seconhand accounts. This analysis will be focusing on trade, information, and customs exchanged between the two groups during the settlement of the Great Plains. This project hopes to provide clearer picture on the lives of both groups during this time period.
