Yeah. Just for my area the Timucua and Calusa were functionally extinct cultures by 1776. The Spanish evacuated a few survivors to Cuba, but there was no one left in Florida.

I've been looking for wall art that is exactly THIS. Thanks for the heads-up from this 1/8 Chiricahua Apache❣️

Talk about DEI. #AmericanHistory

This is magnificent!!

Projects like this were top of mind when I wrote this last week: aaslh.org/why-im-still...

As always, Puerto Rico is missing. Smdh.

The point would be better made with a more detailed and accurate map showing all communities with Indigenous names, not colonizer names and groupings.

Haudenosaunee mentioned Nya:weh sgeno to the people of the Longhouse it is always a treat to get to visit their Nations

There were also at least small Russian settlements in a few places on the US West Coast as well.

Thank you for sharing this, John.

This is great. Too bad it doesn't show African descent populations in Mexico, though, particularly in Veracruz and Costa Chica.

Those new settlers were mostly up around Natchez, not as much near New Orleans; the map's key conflates colonial control with colonist descent, examples appear not just in Louisiana, but it appears to in New Mexico, too

The US delegation to what became the Louisiana Purchase were at first trying to negotiate buying "the Isle of Orleans", and were surprised when offered the rest of Louisiana (West of the Mississippi) as well.

There were also French speaking German settlers in the New Orleans area, which are also represented with blue on the map. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_...

This is so cool -- thank you for sharing!

Given the linguistic diversity of the region, representing it accurately on a map at this scale would be difficult.

It does, however, have errors. The Iowa were in Iowa then and the group of Sauk living in Iowa at that time was in South Eastern Iowa not South Western Iowa. Knowledge of individual places and Native nations is still necessary to contextualize these broad visualizations.

Another really good one is www.tribalnationsmaps.com/store/c1/Fea... It's a native owned business and they make native maps of both North America as a whole and individual US states. I really love the North America map I got from them several years back.

The Acadians would like a word

No French in Acadia?

Amazing stuff! Thank you

This is a cool idea but why is most of the north cut off? Seems a big flaw to me

And the Sioux is not the correct term to be used for the tribes. It was a name given to them by us to make it easier.

That's why they've got the little triangles by their name I think

The Narragansett Tribe?

“This land is their land, This land is their land” From California to the New York Island From the Redwood Forest to the Gulf Stream Waters This land wasn’t made for You and Me.”

How inconvenient for white supremacist immigrants arguing against all other-coloured immigrants.

the Mexican side isn't that surprising, given that the migration of the Mexica (called Aztecs often) was from an Aztlán hypothesized to be somewhere in the now-US Southwest (see the Uto-Aztecan region of the map) to the Valle de México
