Maps made by non-Native Americans to depict Native American land tenure, resources andpopulation distributions appeared almost as early as Europeans’ first encounters with NativeAmericans and took many form: missionaries’ field sketches, explorers’ drawings, and surveyors’maps, as well as maps rendered in connection with treaties involving land transfers. Most existingmaps of Native American lands are reconstructions that are based largely on archaeology, oralreports, and evidence gathered from observers’ accounts in letter, diaries, and official reports;accordingly, the accuracy of these maps is especially dependent on the mapmakers’ owninterpretive abilities.
Many existing maps also reflect the 150-year role of the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) inadministering tribal lands. Though these maps incorporate some information gleaned directly fromNative Americans, rarely has Native American cartography contributed to this official record,which has been compiled, surveyed, and authenticated by non-Native American tribes and theirmigrations and cultural features, as well as territoriality and contemporary trust lands, reflects theorigins of the data, the mixed purposes for which the maps have been prepared, and changes both IUnited States government policy and in non-Native Americans’ attitudes toward an understandingof Native Americans.
选项
A、A chronology of the development of different methods for mapping Native Americans
B、A discussion of how the mapmaking techniques of Native Americans differed from those of Europeans
C、An argument concerning the presenta-day uses to which historical maps of Native American lands are put
D、An argument concerning the nature of information contained in maps of Native American lands
E、A proposal for improving the accuracy of maps of Native American lands
答案
D
解析
This question asks you to identify the answer that most clearly describes the content of the passage as a whole. Choice D is the best answer. The passage is mainly concerned with arguing that the information contained in maps of Native American lands reflects certain important aspects of the map’s original production. While certain mapping techniques are mentioned in the passage, the passage is not concerned with tracing the development of those techniques as indicated in choice A. choice B can be eliminated because the passage focuses on non-Native Americans’ mapping techniques with Native Americans’ techniques. Choice C is not correct because the argument in the passage concerns the origins of the information in certain historical maps, not any specific present-day uses of those maps. Choice E is incorrect because the passage does not offer any proposal to amend the accuracy of the maps being discussed.
