For five centuries, Indigenous territories have been contested on battlefields, legislated in Congress, and studied in classrooms. And today, the debate burns with new fire. Increasing complexity in identity and the number of Indigenous people living off reserve in metropolitan areas are helping to shape the concept of what "Indian Country" is as they gain political and economic clout.
This highly informative and attractive map shows reservations, tribal entities, trust lands, and locations of major festivals and pow-wows. Photos and short biographies of notable figures throughout history, and a series of four maps showing how they have lost territory from 1775 to the present add context to a little-known part of American history.
This map is ideal for the classroom or for anyone who wishes to learn more about America's Native peoples. An excellent complement to Indian Cultures of North America and A World Transformed, this map serves as a reminder to all that Indigenous peoples of the United States are still here and still fighting for their sovereign land.
Printed on polypropylene, an ideal material for wall maps as the printing brings out rich colours, and crisp edges for readability. The material is stronger than most papers and unlikely to crease or rip. The matte finish eliminates glare, and adds texture to the map. Ideal for display.
Your map is rolled and packaged in a sturdy tube to protect it during shipment.
