from jeff fero, native american doctor: the story of susan la flesche

Explanation:

To support the statement that building a house was an attempt to get the tribe to move forward, we look for evidence showing a new way of living. The relevant text is: "So, on a low hill overlooking the rich, flat bottomland beside the Missouri River, Iron Eye built a two - story wood frame house as a model for a new way of living. He plowed the heavy black soil with a yoke and oxen and divided the land into separate farms. He asked other Omahas to build wooden houses on these farms." This shows Iron Eye using the house as a model to introduce a new, more settled (farming - based) way of life, moving away from traditional Omaha ways (like hunting, tanning, etc.) which he saw as no longer useful, thus trying to get the tribe to move forward.
