Alllright! So the Cowboy and Indians episode that the show never references again because they got a bit too much flak for dealing with the whole clusterfuck that is settlement of the 'west' and how it affected native populations in such a simplistic way. That said, if you don't go over deep dive metaphor/analogy searching, this is pretty good and yeah, mostly just a case of poor communication not helped by the Mane 6 trying to 'help'. Speaking of them "helping', Pinkie! This is an Amy Keating Rogers episode, and one of the things she is known for, aside from being probably the second most overall popular writer on the show after MA Larson (and tied with him for most writing credits, though if you ignore the one ep Larson wishes he could have taken his name off of, she wins) is early on being seen as THE Pinkie Pie writer, the one who best seemed to 'get' her both the positives (She is the one who wrote The Smile Song) as well as the negatives, like how Pinkie can be oblivious to how her action impact others at times when she's focused on something else. So odds are if Pinkie is being very well meaning but oblivious to how her 'helping' is doing anything but, it's good bet it's an AKR episode. Now other details... don't try to think to hard about how trains work here, it's not as bad as trying to question The Pink One, but it'll still give you a headache, just ask Littlepip! We get introduced to one of the other biggest memes that just, continued on never really ceasing to be fun "Fluttershy is/would like to be a tree" You will see this many times! Also introduced here, Breaburn! Best Bishie-Pone! For early fan fics he tended to be seen as one of two ways either hooking up with Little Strong Heart, or such a good looking in pretty rather the handsome way guy that stallions would start questioning their sexuality around him. Yes "Everypony is gay for Breaburn" was a meme for a good while. Also, I love how this ends in a food fight, it's led to several headcanons that is simply how Equestria fights anymore. That things have been so peaceful for so long, that food fights, or fights with foam weapons have become the defacto way ponies think of fighting. Sadly, no Best Pony this time, but we do get to see her early seasons best friend Carrot Top making a trip to Appleloosa, which is odd given how often fannon portrays the Carrots and the Apples as deadly rivals. Either way, I'm sure Derpy is back in Ponyville making sure Carrot Top comes home to a nice empty fridge.

yes you where right at the end they decided to cut down some of the tree's so they could run their traditional path. as for the pies being weapons a way I saw it (made safe for kids) is imagine those pies as bullets and arrows so at the end when the chief got a head shot it was essentially him getting a bullet or arrow to his head. a really nice ATTEMPT at a moral here but would of been much better as pony on pony. I love the buffalo and it was nice they tried to branch out so early in the show but the american's taking the native's land is much more complex then this story suggested
