Native Tribes of North America Mapped

The ancestors of living Native Americans arrived in North America about 15 thousand years ago.
As a result, a wide diversity of communities, societies, and cultures finally developed on the continent over the millennia. The population figure for Indigenous peoples in the Americas before the 1492 voyage of Christopher Columbus was 70 million or more.
About 562 tribes inhabited the contiguous U.S. territory. Ten largest North American Indian tribes: Arikara, Cherokee, Iroquois, Pawnee, Sioux, Apache, Eskimo, Comanche, Choctaw, Cree, Ojibwa, Mohawk, Cheyenne, Navajo, Seminole, Hope, Shoshone, Mohican, Shawnee, Mi’kmaq, Paiute, Wampanoag, Ho-Chunk, Chumash, Haida. Below is the tribal map of Pre-European North America.
The old map below gives a Native American perspective by placing the tribes in full flower ~ the “Glory Days.” It is pre-contact from across the eastern sea or, at least, before that contact seriously affected change. Stretching over 400 years, the time of contact was quite different from tribe to tribe.
For instance, the “Glory Days” of the Maya and Aztec came to an end very long before the interior tribes of other areas, with some still resisting almost until the 20th Century. At one time, numbering in the millions, the native peoples spoke close to 4,000 languages. The Americas’ European conquest, which began in 1492, ended in a sharp drop in the Native American population through epidemics, hostilities, ethnic cleansing, and slavery.
When the United States was founded, established Native American tribes were viewed as semi-independent nations, as they commonly lived in communities separate from white immigrants.
History is not there for you to like or dislike. It is there for you to learn from it. And if it offends you, even better. Because then you are less likely to repeat it. It’s not yours for you to erase or destroy.

Are you Yaqui and How do you know for sure?
Yaqui, Indian people centred in southern Sonora state, on the west coast of Mexico. They speak the Yaqui dialect of the language called Cahita, which belongs to the Uto-Aztecan language family.
The Yaqui people are known for their distinctive resilience, resistance, and struggles with both the Spanish Empire and the post-independence Mexican government. They're also famous for their Deer Dance and deer songs, which is one example of their religious synthesis and traditional Yaqui spirituality
By 552 the tribe, descendants of the Toltecs, lived in small family groups from the Yaqui River in present-day Sonora, Mexico, to the Gila River. In addition to hunting and gathering, they grew vegetables and traded with other tribes.
The Yaqui Indians were never conquered, and most of them scattered throughout the southwest unidentified and uncounted. Most who left reference their homelands as their source of ancestry and to begin a new life away from the cultural genocides of Mexico.

The creature Bigfoot, also known as Sasquatch, is featured in both American and Canadian folklore and has connections to Indigenous cultures. The name Sasquatch is believed to come from the Salish word Sasq'ets, which means "wild man" or "hairy man". The term was coined by Canadian journalist J.W. Burns in the 1930s, who was an Indian agent assigned to the Chehalis Band.

😍😍 We are not “Americans”, we are Turtle Islanders. We call this land Turtle Island not America because America comes from Amerigo Vespucci, who was a mercenary commissioned to enslave our people and rob the gold from beneath our feet. So we don’t like to call this land America nor do we want to be called Native Americans because that is like calling a Jewish Person a Native Hitlerian. Turtle Island is the word we have generally agreed on for this land based on a Haudenosaunee creation story 🙂 (a native nation from the northeast).
