Title
A name given to the resource
Native Presence
Description
An account of the resource
This layer shows all the information on the map related to the native peoples of the lands shown. It includes the illustrations of natives from Louisiana and Kamchatka that decorate the top of the map as well as all labels related to where different tribes live. Interestingly, native tribe lands are only noted in North America; there is no note as to which peoples live in different areas of Asia. The newly-discovered land in the center of the map, though not as information-dense as North America, does have several notes about the presence of native people. This layer is important because it adds a human presence to a map that otherwise largely describes only physical features of the land.
