And I've seen that map before. It's horrifyingly inaccurate. No it's accurate, I was looking through maps for half an hour all the names match up but it's simplified. I was just looking for a boundary map. it's the map before colonial powers arrive. All other maps I've seen are similar but they just show the name of the tribe not the boundaries so this is the best we have got. In the eastern part alone there are plenty of errors.

1. The Beothuk lived on the island of Newfoundland alone. Most of their territory on there was controlled by Innu tribes.

2. The land they put on there as Mik'maq was actually divided between the Mik'maq and Maliseet.

3. The Mohicans weren't even a real tribe, they were made up for the book Last of the Mohicans. In the comics book he was actually describing the "Mohegan" tribes of Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Connecticut.

4. The Pequot did not have that much land. They were a major power in Connecticut, Rhode Island, and Massachusetts, but no farther.

5. The Powhatan lived on the coast of Virginia alone.

6. The Cherokee had no where close to that much of an iron grip on the southeast.

7. The Creek only had a tiny amount of land in Florida, most of it was farther north.

8. The Huron were a small politically neutral collection of tribes in southwestern Ottawa. Not a Canadian superpower. Most of their territory in that map actually belonged to the Algonquin, Ottawa, and Innu, all of which, actually major powers, are no where to be found.

9. At the time of colonial arrival the Iroquois were inhabits of New York alone, and the Midwest was still dominated by the Ottawa, Ojibwa, and Potawatomi. The Ottawa and Potawatomi have seemingly disappeared on that map, and the Ojibwa have been squished into a tiny area of Wisconsin and Illinois that they never occupied.

10. The Shawnee were more widespread than that, but actually never inhabited that part of Illinois, as it was controlled by the Illinois natives, who are also apparently absent.

Again, that's in the east alone. You seem to be extremely educated on this could you draw a map of Native American Tribes and their boundaries so I can use an accurate map in this RP (during 1600s or 1700s)

I can try, but it's really complicated. Do you want this before our after English settlement? Prior to the destruction of the Aztecs and Incas?
