Regardless of where you live, our pioneer heritage belongs to all of us. Unless we share stories of the pioneers, children will never know them - their trials and victories.
The Primary Songbook has several songs about the pioneers. My personal favorite is "Whenever I Think about Pioneers" p. 222 - 223. It is also the most difficult.
An easier one is "Pioneer Children Sang As They Walked" p. 214. The first 2 lines are the same with a slightly different melody. The last line is the same as the first with very slight variation. These 3 lines are quite easy to teach. The third line can be taught with actions. Let the children choose actions to this line. Once they have sung it a few times, have them walk around the room while singing it
