Europeans and native Americans definitely did not have the same view of the land. Native Americans did not really "own" the land - they used it, but they didn't claim it for themselves only- it was a common property of the Earth(people, nature)

The correct answer is:
c. native Americans considered most land to be common ground for all to use, while Europe's wealthiest owned most of the available land.
