    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Visualizing Expansion Lesson 2: Native American Cartography and European Exploration]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[This lesson shows students how Native American knowledge of land and traditions of mapping interacted with European understandings of physical space during initial points of contact and early European exploration of North America. It can be used on its own during a unit on the age of exploration, or with some or all of the rest of the lessons in this unit for a deeper exploration of maps and visual sources in Native American history.<br />
Essential Questions: What can maps and art teach us about the past? What does a visual depiction of land reveal about the people who made it? How did Native Americans and white settlers engage with expansion into the Plains differently? How did Native American cartographers interact with European Explorers during early points of contact?]]></dcterms:description>
