Describe Meyer's theory of sequent occupance. What does sequent occupance mean? What groups occupied and changed the region Meyer studied?

Answer:

Meyer’s theory of sequent occupance explains that a region’s cultural landscape develops through successive occupation by different groups. Each group changes the landscape and leaves features behind for later groups. In the Detroit region, Native Americans were followed by French settlers and fur traders, British occupants, and then Americans, whose settlement, transportation systems, and industrial growth greatly transformed the area.
