Why Isn’t This Map in the History Books?

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


By the age of 10, most children in the United States have been taught all 50 states that make up the country. But centuries ago, the land that is now the United States was a very different place. Over 20 million Native Americans dispersed across over 1,000 distinct tribes, bands, and ethnic groups populated the territory. Today, Native Americans account for just 1.5 percent of the population, and much of their history has been lost, particularly as today’s education system is sadly lacking when it comes to teaching the rich and complex history of the United States. Here we examine little-known facts about Native Americans, which should be included in every history book.

Tribes

As of January, 2016, there are 566 legally recognized Native American tribes in the United States, as determined by the Bureau of Indian Affairs.

Prior to European contact, there were over 1,000 tribes, bands or clans, but sadly, some were completely extinguished as a result of disease epidemics or war.

Today, there is not a single accurate historical map that reflects the location of Native American tribes in North America in a single time period, as the post-European contact situation was ever changing, with contact occurring at different times in different areas.

      i don’t know why you deem one area apache. this area always belonged to puebloan people. the apache and navajo came in and almost destroyed all the pueblo villages. but unlike the incas and the aztecs, they did not succeed up here. eventually the puebloans learned to tolerate the apache. but the boundaries were clear. with or without kit carson. all things were settled the indian way. so when white man came, they were like damn, they have villages that can’t be burned.

      Sadly the country was birthed on the extermination of the indigenous people and the political muscle from then on until today has been to crush the indian peoples to nothing, it is a crime against humanity and will likely never be given the full redress it ought to be, it is a lesson that governments that are centralized become apathetic except to the maintenance of power not to the maintenance of the people. In this day and age we the current population face much the same, the code word is depopulation eugenicists, culling the herd. The elements of reason call for whatever means are necessary to stop the process. At this moment depopulation plans are already in full swing in the USA, for those who have an ear goggle targeted individual electronic weapons and prepare yourself for the truth. The Morelocks are already living in houses just next door.
