We mainly looked at this painting through a historical analysis. We talked about the history of the Native Americans, and their struggles with Western society. We also noticed the artists use of lighting, symbols, and extraordinarily descriptive details. We talked about light and about the symbolism of the storm and clouds coming towards the Indian camp. We noticed broken trees as well, which symbolize the dooming threat from the Americans, and their ideas of manifest destiny.
