What was gals view of future relations between then plains Indians and the settlers?

In his writings, historian and author John G. Gal's view of future relations between the Plains Indians and settlers was largely pessimistic. He believed that the cultural differences, competing interests, and the relentless westward expansion of settlers would lead to inevitable conflict. Gal emphasized that, despite potential for coexistence, the settlers' drive for land and resources would likely result in the marginalization and displacement of Indigenous peoples. Ultimately, he foresaw a future characterized by tension and struggle rather than harmony.
