Map of Indigenous Indian Native Lands. Fascinating and a work in progress. With 600+ tribes I find it interesting that the names I thought would show up (Seneca and Iroquois) where I grew up are not there instead it says Erie. https://native-land.ca
If you click on Settler Labels you can narrow things down to places and names you know.
I grew up in Western NY so like Dave I thought of the Senecas and Iroquois Nation, Now living in Northeast NY and thought this was Abernacki land.

Cool! I wondered if it would show the tribe that lived on the 20 acres I have in Kennedy Meadows, California. It does. There is history of their presence very near my 5th wheel trailer, there, with bedrock mortors and a grinding slab. I found obsidian arrowheads on the property. In 1992 my then husband and I bought 30 acres. When we divorced in 2008, he took 10 and sold it, but I still have my 20 acres. I plan to be there next weekend. I haven't made it there once in over a year. I feel sad for what the Tübatulabal had and lost. Supposedly Kennedy Meadows was where they'd go in the summer, and gather piñion pine seeds, and spend winters at lower elevations. My trailer is at 6,000 feet.
I can verify the Patawomeck lands are correct on the map. I am an enrolled member of the tribe and we just recently opened a visitor center (still in progress), so if you are ever in the Fredericksburg, VA area, please stop by!
Very interesting. I grew up in NE OK, and when I lived up in MN and talked about names of counties or towns there people would ask me why they all had the same names of other places or tribes (Miami, Delaware, Quapaw etc) and I would just say Trail of Tears. I was surprised at how few knew what I meant!
