Wow, this map fucking sucks at describing native american regions.
Could you point me to where I could better learn about these regions then? No offense, I’m just actually curious now.
This one seems most accurate: https://native-land.ca/
OP’s map relies a lot more on Western notions of nations and land ownership than you would have found for many indigenous tribes.
Nice. Very responsive on mobile too which is nice.
am i missing something or is there no meme?
I think they are referring to the British settlements that led to modern America…?
The illegal immigrants in this case would be European settlers and the added text makes the meme, I think. I had to double take on this one as well.
yeah, but i just dont really understand the map. is it just a map showing where the native population lived before colonization or is there an actual joke in there?
Pretty sure North America looked different in 2015 AD.
Obviously this is 2015 AD meaning as 2015 years After Diogenes which is closer to 1500 CE or Century of Erasmus.

The British Colombia part of the map is very inaccurate. Not sure about the rest. Appreciate the sentiment though.
Also Sioux isn’t a native name, it was given to the Lakota people and others by the French colonizers.
Haida Gwaii taking up the entire coast and interior yet isn’t even in the map gave me a chuckle.
Huron Supremacy? The Jason Bourne series really went off track after the 3rd movie.

I’m going out on a limb and say someone else picked that name for them.
You’d be correct. It’s a translation of a name given to them by the Cree. They generally refer to themselves as Dene.

To be fair more people died from the diseases brought by the settlers.
You mean the diseases they intentionally spread as part of their settler colonialist genocide?
There’s very less evidence to support that. I can only recall one incident where a blanket infected with small pox was handed out to a tribe and the officer who did that was later severely reprimanded.
But anyhow, I am not trying to downplay the ill intent of European settlers, I will just quote this here “history is written by victors”. The blanket incident is all I recall about deliberate disease spreading. who really knows? How many hundreds of such incidents went unreported?
I took a course about it back in high school, they literally wrote about how they were going to spread infected blankets to wipe out the indigenous population. But you’re white so that means your genocide denying hipfires are more accurate than actually educated facts on the matter, so excuse me for thinking I knew what I was talking about.
