on the Great Plains
During the 1930s, environmental changes in the form of drought and dust storms, known as the Dust Bowl, devastated farmers living on the Great Plains. The lack of rainfall, coupled with poor farming practices that stripped the land of its natural vegetation, led to crop failures and soil erosion. Many farmers were forced to abandon their land and livelihoods, causing widespread economic hardship and migration.
The "Dust Bowl" was the loss of farmland to drought and erosion in the 1930s. Many farmers left the Great Plains during the height of the Great Depression (1934-1936) and migrated to other areas, especially California, where some found work as migrant laborers.

When African Americans moved from south to north the great migration.
The Plains Indians, primarily located in the Great Plains of North America, exhibited a nomadic lifestyle centered around the seasonal migration of bison herds. They followed these herds across vast distances, utilizing the resources provided by the animals for food, shelter, and materials for tools and clothing. This migration pattern was closely tied to the natural rhythms of the environment, including seasonal changes and the availability of plants and water sources. Additionally, the introduction of horses in the 17th century further enhanced their mobility and hunting efficiency.
