Nations like France would base their claims of ownership of vast territories on some French dude setting eyes on it first. That was the "Doctrine of Discovery". The dude would often perform a ceremony of some kind as well, like erecting a cross or installing a lead plaque, or some other such thing. They would also make these claims to the Indians in various ceremonies, presumably in French, but I don't know that for sure.
At the time, and definitely in retrospect, such claims were absurd yet grown ass men who were officials of a government earnestly made those claims after much trouble and expense and years of their lives. Those claims were joined with the construction of forts, which were basically part of the beaver pelt trade network the French built. Other nations, like the British, would sometimes dismiss those claims as nonsense, and sometimes would acknowledge them as the basis of treaties for transfer of "ownership" of a region. The Americans, also would acknowledge these claims, for example, in the Louisiana Purchase of 1803, the government paid Napoleon millions of dollars for land the French couldn't really defend anymore when they could have just stated the original claim was null and void because it was nonsense.
Another element of these claims was the non-Christian people had no legitimate claims to anything, even their own personal sovereignty. This was a legalism pronounced by the Catholic church very early on in the age of spanish and portuguese imperialism, which presumably continued on during the french empire's expansion into the fur trade. This claim was absurd from the start, but even moreso after the reformation, which called bullshit on the vatican's copyright on christianity.
Anyway, this all seems nuts to a modern person who might, instead, at least prefer the Dutch/Jew empire approach to "buying" land from Indians with a box of beads, a couple of guns and some booze, oh and also a big piece of paper with some legalisms, aka a contract even if they recognize that's also nonsense. That's the approach the American government eventually adopted as well, which became its policy via Henry Knox during the very early days of the US.
What that generally meant was wealthy cronies involved in the land deals could cash in on bulk land sales to the masses of european settlers when they moved into an area like Ohio or Indiana or Illinois and in fact they, that is the mass of middle class people, truly established sovereignty over an area and implemented "the system".
Another more practical and pragmatic "doctrine" for establishing government claims of ownership to Indian land was the "well, they aren't doing anything with it" claim. That is, since land wasn't surveyed, cleared, cultivated and was in a wild state, nobody owned it, which of course was most of the land in the US since the Indian's economic system and pattern of land use was totally different than the europeans' model. Obviously the use patterns were incompatible which eventually caused much destruction of the Indian population and wildlife in the US.
Let's take a step back to those French "explorers" of the 17th century and their state of mind to make nonsensical claims on behalf of a "king". It's psychotic, meaning, totally divorced from reality, yet it's a psychosis they managed to impose on, at the time, untold thousands of people. The "Sixty Years War" battle for the Old Northwest was really a battle of insane people over whose psychotic episode would be adopted by the masses.
COVID was a great current day example of that. 80% of people around the world adopted the insane, manufactured, scripted perspective sold by a piece of shit human like Bill Gates and Anthony Fauci. I saw friends and family eat that lie up and become a little violent authoritarian creep who wanted to inject people with COVID vaccines by force, even though so many people had that cold before the magic juice was ready. I had out of body experiences during discussions with people about the absurdity of Billy Gates involvement in the farce. I knew Bill was a turd even before the depth of his association with Epstein's cult/mafia were revealed. For some reason average Joe people thought Bill Gates was a credible spokesman for COVAIDs.
I eventually realized it's pointless hoping normie people will "wake up". They never will. They're so accustomed to being psychotic that they'll immediately transfer to the next imaginary thing like an election and a battle between two dirtbag politicians/lawyers and won't even notice nothing changes when the new guys come into office.
COVID followed the Dutch/Jew Empire pattern, by the way, which is why it's such a bummer that the masses are insane retards. That is, the evil wizards/scammers create an imaginary system that the mass of people actually cement into "reality" the same way a box of beads and a piece of paper could create a new State.
