What you need to know is that a pronoun is a word which stands for or represents a thing or person (the noun) that has usually already been mentioned or named. For example:

Esol (NOUN) wants help with his grammar. So he (PRONOUN) has asked a question in Yahoo Answers.

'Esol' is the name of a person or thing, and 'he' refers to 'Esol'. So 'Esol' is the NOUN and 'he' is the PRONOUN.

In your first example, the NOUN is 'Plains', which is later referred to as 'They' (PRONOUN), because 'they' (The Plains) extend 2000 miles.

In your second example, the NOUN here is 'Totem poles'. Tribes carved images of animals into totem poles, so here 'them' is the PRONOUN standing in for 'totem poles'.

Your third example is about a thing called a 'pottach' (NOUN). The pottach was a way to pass on cultural information, so here, 'It' is the PRONOUN.

In your fourth example, there are two nouns and two pronouns. The first NOUN is 'Woodie Guthrie', and the second is 'songs'. Your example continues 'Some of them (the songs) are about the land around him (Woodie Guthrie), so the two PRONOUNS are 'them' and 'him'.
