Secondary source excerpt (1491–1607): Early French and Spanish visitors to North America sought trade with Native peoples for furs and food supplies, often depending on Indigenous knowledge of waterways and seasons. Native diplomats used gift-giving and alliance rituals to incorporate Europeans into existing political networks, but misunderstandings over land use and sovereignty created tension. Meanwhile, in Spanish Caribbean colonies, enslaved Africans labored on sugar estates and sometimes traded clandestinely with Native communities, exchanging food and information despite colonial prohibitions.
Which option best describes the excerpt's portrayal of diplomacy and exchange?
