"You rolled down the 2,000-mile Oregon Trail, where the trip took four to six months. You became a wagon boss and packed only what you truly needed.",
"You also compared pioneer journeys to your own family trips, and you remembered that Native Americans already lived in the West and that their lives were changed forever. Now it is time to show what you know!"
