Into The West / int_3dd3a9eb	type	Tone Shift
Into The West / int_3dd3a9eb	comment	Tone Shift: The first three episodes are, from the white point of view, about the vastness of the west and the challenge of settling it, while the Native American view concerns the first encroachments by white settlers. From the fourth episode onward though, particularly starting with the Sand Creek Massacre, the focus of the series shifts more to the constant conflicts between both sides. Sadly, very much Truth in Television.

Into The West / int_4655ec83	comment	Important Haircut: The head of the Indian School notes that Native Americans only cut their hair in times of great mourning, which is why the students are so traumatized by their new haircuts.
