Read Interpretations A and B in the Interpretations Booklet - AQA - GCSE History - Question 1 - 2021 - Paper 1

Interpretation B emphasizes the negative aspects of the Great Plains, portraying it as a hostile and dangerous environment. This is in contrast to Interpretation A, which presents the Great Plains through the lens of Luther Standing Bear as a protective force for the Indians.

Interpretation A describes the Great Plains as a land providing resources and safety, suggesting a relationship of harmony between the Native Americans and the land. On the other hand, Interpretation B, as expressed by Parrish, suggests that the Great Plains could be a threat, as it implies that the Indians could face danger if they did not stay vigilant when interacting with the environment.
