How did the Native Americans view land ownership?

A. They believed the land should be equally distributed among everyone.
B. They believed in using duels to decide land ownership.
C. They believed their gods should decide who owns the land.
D. They believed in communal ownership.

The answer is D, communal ownership. They believed that no one has the right to claim land as their own. They believed that people are only the stewards of land, not owners. This is the reason why they got along with the French because even though the French claimed land, the mainly farmed and traded and did not build very many farms/cities which would ruin the hunting grounds. While the colonist/English not only claimed the land as their own, but farmed and built cities which threatened to destroy the natives form of living.

Native Americans viewed land as a communal resource rather than something to be privately owned. They saw themselves as stewards of the land, using it collectively for the benefit of their communities. This perspective starkly contrasted with European settlers' beliefs in individual land ownership, leading to conflicts over territory and resources.
