The map says the Northshore was Acolapissa. There are tons of place names and geographic features around here named for Native Americans. I’m not aware of a single Acolapissa.

I think Miccosukee. My now deceased neighbor pulled like 20 dugout canoes out of a peat bog he was mining in his backyard. I think 1 or 2 may have barely been pre-Columbian. Any time the lakes drop real low (like every decade or so) someone will find another canoe preserved in lake bottom muck.

Fun fact. The Sioux became plains dwellers when the Chippewa drove them out of the upper midwest. The Comanche drove the Apache off the plains and into the mountains. Ain't nobody on this earth living where they started out.

Click "Settler Labels" at the bottom of the map and it will display state borders and town names.

I don't get the overlap. Shouldn't be overlap, right?

Smallpox killed the vast majority of the natives. Europeans didn’t even know they had the diseases when they first arrived. It’s unfortunate but it’s not like the Europeans rounded them all up and committed genocide. It would be pretty interesting to see what some of the native civilizations looked like before European arrival.

Although there was some of that too. The European invasion was no worse than any other mass migration but it was no better either. Humans are the Earth's apex predators and they enthusiastically prey on their own species.

Crazy how no one is indigenous to Europe, the Middle East, India and east Asia.


No indigenous peoples around the Tigris or Euphrates. A bit confusing since I have been told it is the cradle of civilization.

Seems like it intends to do just that...

At the very bottom of his (and I know because his pronouns are also in there) email signature is this line:

quote:

The land on which we live and work is part of the traditional territory of the Tsalagi peoples (now Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians, Cherokee Nation of Oklahoma, and United Keetoowah Band of Cherokee Indians) and Tsoyaha peoples (Yuchi, Muscogee Creek).

The Amerindians generally saw the Europeans as just another tribe they were sometimes at war with, sometimes traded with, sometimes coexisted with. Cortez was able to conquer Mexico by allying with tribes that were mortal enemies of the Aztecs, and this set the stage for the Indian wars of the next 300 years. The Europeans nearly always had Indians on their side as scouts and direct combatants.

Few Indian leaders recognized the existential threat European settlement represented. Tecumseh and Sitting Bull were two who did but they came along far too late to change the course.

Really wish someone would create this map so I can get in a proper fit for the ancient Britains. Let’s gang up on the Saxons, Danes, and Normans right!??

Wait, indignation can’t go back that far?

It's cool how these people just popped up in these places and none of them had to fight anyone else for their land. I applaud God's work in this regard.
