Native Land

I love learning about different people and different cultures and I also love studying the history of people and who they were and their relationships with their neighbors. This helps understand how cultures grow and develop. I will give this app the benefit of the doubt because it’s still growing but I would love for it to be a true tool for information about the people who lived in the Americas and around the world. As of right now it’s just a map which is interesting but very limiting in what there is to learn and understand. For instance, I would love to see a map where it shows which languages are related or the different language families each language is a part of and specifically which cultures speak these languages. This would give so much information on just how the cultural and political systems of various people are connected. Another idea I would like to see is a time line of the various ancient cultures. For instance, the Mogollon culture of the southwest vanished about 600 years ago. After that their rivals the Dine and Hopi can be found in many of the ancient Mogollon regions. However, the Mogollon people didn’t disappear, just their culture did. The ancestors of the Mogollon culture still live there, just in a new tribes and new cultures. I would love to have that type of information available.

Just now downloaded this app and I haven’t even opened it yet, but I ABSOLUTELY had to immediately THANK THE CREATOR for trailblazing this VITAL material! I’ve been searching for something like this for quite a while now, in app form or otherwise, but didn’t find a thing! Until now. 😊 This is such an important innovation for trailblazing the empowerment of Indigenous Peoples, and intercultural relations, and fulfilling the Rainbow Prophecies. I’ve read the customer reviews so I’m aware that their may be some inaccuracies and that some of the tribal website links have connectivity issues, but considering the fact that the “Civilized” Industrialized world STILL has yet to include these Sovereign Territories on any Official Map, and it’s probably one of the first of its kind, I’d expect it to be a work-in-progress. PLEASE PLEASE CONTINUE DEVELOPING THIS AND OTHER Apps THAT RECOGNIZE LIVING INDIGENOUS PEOPLES, AND THEIR SOVEREIGN TERRITORIES, AND COMMUNITIES SO THAT WE MAY TREAT THEM WITH HONOR AND RESPECT, AND SO WE MAY REPAIR RELATIONS SO AS TO LEARN TO LIVE TOGETHER IN GREAT PEACE LAW!

I love having a map of various indigenous groups all in one place, and it’s allowed me to much more easily learn about different groups, especially ones that live in my area. I love having the links to the tribe websites on a lot of them! However, I definitely noticed not all of it is very accurate, either in the regions or the names of some of the tribes, which I guess is to be expected, but I definitely hope that in the future it will continue to become more accurate and informational! For now, I appreciate having a Native-focused resource for a wide variety of native groups across Turtle Island. Thank you!!!
