He actually found iron pyrite (fools gold) and the King was not impressed. Short Answer 9) Port royal was used as a new starting off point in North America where Samuel de Champlain could explore further west in search of the NW Passage Supplies could be stored and trade could take place here Port Royal helped to establish a French presence in North America 10)a) The picture is most likely drawn from a European perspective mainly because there are no First Nations people are to be seen in the picture. The explorer (John Cabot) is portrayed as a very glamorous and important figure in this picture. He is the central figure and he is shown claiming the land for Britain. b) There are no first Nations in the picture The Explorers may have assumed the First Nations people were passive (push overs) although he is claiming their land the First Nations are not in the picture. They are not shown defending their land. The Europeans may have assumed that conquering another territory is easy The Europeans may have viewed the First Nations as unimportant, inferior, or insignificant although we know that Cabot made contact with the Beothuk First Nations here (Newfoundland) they have been left out of the picture this shows a Eurocentric attitude.
