Scene 1 for Study of A Commodity reflects the first thing that usually come to mind when the general public is asked about Native American's homeland: a bleak and dry reddish desert with mesas in the background, tumbleweed rolling over, and rocks of various size all over. This type of environment appears in many Western Cowboy movies, cartoons, and other media. As part of the Virtual Reality experience, this scene will later be contrasted to Scene 4 where First Nation people view of their homeland as a lush and open landscape.
