North America was never a "New World." For thousands of years, rich cultures danced across the vast plains, soared up the tallest mountains and prospered on the shores of great lakes. Long before the 16th century, North America was home to up to 30 million people as diverse as the land they lived on. And they remain today. This map was published in October 1991 as a companion to the "Indian America - What you can Visit Today" map and seven articles on pre-Columbian America.

This educational map reveals tribal and archaeological sites across the United States, including federal reservation/treaty lands and museums. Explore the world of North America in this traditional territory map. Learn of the languages only few are left to hear, and the ones that are already echoes of the past. Celebrate the reclamation of land, culture, art, stories and governance as Indigenous communities from the Pacific to the Atlantic Oceans redefine who they are and their place in current North American culture.

This map is ideal for the classroom or for anyone who wishes to gain insight into the forces of colonialism and the history that made North America what it is today. A perfect companion to A World Transformed.

Your laminated map has a glossy finish so that you can use dry erase markers on the map to highlight features, make plans, and share unique information with others. Lamination is also extremely durable, resistant to folding or ripping.
