The correct answer is the following.

He is a neutral individual that wants to settle in that land to have better living conditions for his family.

However, due to the Proclamation of 1763, the Government of Great Britain ordered the American colonists to not invade the land of the Native American Indian tribes. The reason to do this was to calm the protests of the Indians after the Frech and Indian War.

The English monarchy decided to prohibit further settling beyond the Appalachians, to respect the lands that belonged to the tribes.

As it was expected, American colonists disobeyed the proclamation and continued to settle the Native American Indian lands.
