Asked by Suzanne

I am reviewing the Gutierrez Map and I need to know, what does this mean: How might the map’s indication of where Native American’s lived have strengthened European claims of sovereignty? Could you please reword this question so I can understand what it is asking.
Answered by Ms. Sue
Where do the Native Americans live, according to this map? Are there very many Native Americans?

What conclusions could Europeans have drawn about the Native American population?

Answered by Suzanne
What does "claims of sovereignty" mean?
Answered by Ms. Sue
Loosely, it means that the Europeans thought they had the right to take over the Americas.
