New map - "The Peoples of North America in 1776" - great resource about Native Americans

[highplainsdem]

The Utah Historical Society just produced a new, excellent map of "The Peoples of North America in 1776." Great resource for anyone teaching, writing, presenting about Native peoples as part of their 250th work. america250.utah.gov/power-of-pla...

If you go to that link - https://america250.utah.gov/power-of-place/ - you'll see there's also a link you can use to print a 12x18 copy...a link that will make the image appear here, so here's the link broken with spaces:

Found this thanks to a Bluesky message from Garrett Graff:

Unrelated to everything — but relevant to everything — this map is worth spending some time examining and thinking about. We know so little of our own history — and this wasn't that long ago.

Your grandparents' grandparents' grandparents were likely born around the time of this map.

1. That's pretty cool. Wish they had one for Canada

But I don't see any through the links.

Many tribes moved south into the US in the 1800s.

Thanks for posting!

2. Waaay different from post Trail of Tears

3. It's showing the indigenous peoples.

In many cases, they weren't thick on the ground. The Taino had taken some pretty severe hits by then.

Note where the Sioux are.
