Why Isn’t This Map in the History Books?
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.

Yes indeed!!……

I believe that gratitude - thankfulness, is a vital characteristic to have. It is a quality, a virtue that helps one to have a more positive, optimistic, and hopeful attitude. This is the reason I have always enjoyed Thanksgiving Day. It is a special day to remember all that we should be thankful for. In fact, every day should be Thanksgiving!
But, I do not celebrate the "historical" Thanksgiving spectacle depicted with the "Pilgrims and Indians" whitewashed story of White America's heritage. Whatever the facts are about that first "friendly", or "cozy" Thanksgiving meal, or whatever relationship existed between the European settlers and the Indigenous people that day, the event represents the European invasion of our native land!
The Europeans fled religious persecution at home and IMMIGRATED to OUR land as REFUGEES! They invaded a foreign land, and claiming "superiority" over the Natives here, they set about to "civilize" them, ("for their own good") and then proceeded to steal their land; pillaging, ra**ng, and killing across the continent, murdering millions of Natives, and taking children from their parents, forcing them into "boarding schools" to be indoctrinated into White "American" society. They indiscriminately and brutally murdered women, men, and children. I could go on, and on, and on.
So, as we gather on this Thursday, let us enjoy our family, enjoy the wonderful food, and be grateful for the blessings received, even in this most difficult of years. But, remember the REAL story of Thanksgiving Day is a day of mourning for the Indigenous peoples of the land, our homeland.
Let us remember and honor our ancestors.
We are the Children of the Sun!
AND, WE ARE STILL HERE! 🦅🪶🌾🌞
