Tribal Nations Maps
Note: I purchased maps for my class and recently purchased a flag that I will fly in front of my house. Aaron is also a great resource for books! Please support this business, check out what is available and spread the word!
| Hello, We would like to introduce to you the most comprehensive maps of pre-contact Tribal homelands to date. These maps use Indigenous Nation’s original names for themselves (as well as common names), and show where Nations were just before contact with outsiders . The intent of these maps is to instill pride in Native peoples and to be used as a teaching tool from a Native perspective. These maps are part of our Tribal Nations Map series-which covers the Indigenous Nations from across the Western Hemisphere. We are a Native American-owned company ! We also have: books, puzzles, Tribal flags, classroom posters, postcards, films and more. To purchase or check out all 250 maps , please click below !
