Read the following passage and answer the questions. Maps made by non-Native Americans to depict Native American land tenure, resources and population distributions appeared almost as early as Europeans' first encounters with Native Americans and took may forms: missionaries' field sketches, explorers' drawings and surveyors' maps, as well as maps rendered in connection with treaties involving land transfers. Most existing maps of Native American lands are reconstructions that are based largely on archaeology, oral reports and evidence gathered from observers' accounts in letter, diaries and official reports; accordingly, the accuracy of these maps is especially dependent on the mapmakers' own interpretive abilities. Many existing maps also reflect the 150 year role of the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) in administering tribal lands. Though these maps incorporate some information gleaned directly from Native Americans, rarely has Native American cartography contributed to this official record, which has been compiled, surveyed, and authenticated by non-Native American. Thus our current cartographic record relating to Native American tribes and their migrations and cultural features, as well as territoriality and contemporary trust lands, reflects the origin of the data, the mixed purposes for which the maps have been prepared, and changes both in United states government policy and in non-Native Americans attitudes toward an understanding of Native Americans. Which of the following best describes the content of the passage?AAn argument concerning the nature of information contained in maps of Native American landsBAn argument concerning the present day uses to which historical maps of Native American lands are put.CA discusssion of how the mapmaking techniques of Native Americans differed from those of EuropeansDA chronology of the development of different methods for mapping Native Americans.
