Answer:

Sir Francis Drake described the Bay Area Native Americans and their land as having snow-covered mountains in the summer and clothing similar to those of the Canadian coast.

Drake claimed to have traveled as far north as 48 degrees North, which is parallel with Vancouver, Canada. He anchored near present-day San Francisco and claimed the land for Queen Elizabeth. He named the land "New Albion".
