Answer 1

D. the Big Pasture

Step-by-step explanation:

The Big Pasture was a section of prairie land in southwestern Oklahoma, which was the last large tract of land opened for settlement in the Oklahoma Territory. The land had been originally used as grazing land for the Kiowa, Comanche and Apache tribes. However, the tribes leased most of this grazing land to ranchers.

Answer 2

The correct answer is D. The Big Pasture

The Big Pasture was leased by the Burnetts, the Waggoners through the Fort Sill Indian Agency. Tom Burnett developed a friendship with Quanah Parker and his family. In 1905, Thomas Lloyd, his father Burk Burnett, John R. Abernathy, and Quanah Parker organized a much popularized wolf hunt on the Big Pasture for President Theodore Roosevelt.
