Why Isn’t This Map in the History Books
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.
The ancestors of living Native Americans arrived in North America about 15 thousand years ago. As a result, a wide diversity of communities, societies, and cultures finally developed on the continent over the millennia.The population figure for Indigenous peoples in the Americas before the 1492 voyage of Christopher Columbus was 70 million or more.
About 562 tribes inhabited the contiguous U.S. territory. Ten largest North American Indian tribes: Arikara, Cherokee, Iroquois, Pawnee, Sioux, Apache, Eskimo, Comanche, Choctaw, Cree, Ojibwa, Mohawk, Cheyenne, Navajo, Seminole, Hope, Shoshone, Mohican, Shawnee, Mi’kmaq, Paiute, Wampanoag, Ho-Chunk, Chumash, Haida.
Below is the tribal map of Pre-European North America.
The old map below gives a Native American perspective by placing the tribes in full flower ~ the “Glory Days.” It is pre-contact from across the eastern sea or, at least, before that contact seriously affected change. Stretching over 400 years, the time of contact was quite different from tribe to tribe. For instance, the “Glory Days” of the Maya and Aztec came to an end very long before the interior tribes of other areas, with some still resisting almost until the 20th Century.
At one time, numbering in the millions, the native peoples spoke close to 4,000 languages.
The Americas’ European conquest, which began in 1492, ended in a sharp drop in the Native American population through epidemics, hostilities, ethnic cleansing, and slavery.
When the United States was founded, established Native American tribes were viewed as semi-independent nations, as they commonly lived in communities separate from white immigrants

Children of the Corn
In cradles of tender green leaves,
the children rest like hidden seeds,
listening to lullabies soft as the wind,
echoing from the earth, from ancestral lips.
Braided hair flows like mountain streams,
embracing the gold of growing fields.
Each heartbeat is a kernel of maize,
each dream a radiant harvest.
They grow with the voices of dawn birds,
with the breath of soil and rain,
carrying the vast blue sky in their eyes,
carrying ancient songs in their hearts.
And when they emerge from their leafy cocoons,
they will know:
they are children of the sun,
children of the earth,
children of songs eternal.

The Roots Never Forget
We walk upon this sacred ground,
our steps echo the songs of old.
The roots beneath still hold the sound
of battles fought, of stories told.
They bore the weight of endless strife,
their blood became the rivers’ flow.
Through sacrifice, they gave us life,
so seeds of hope could rise and grow.
Now every breath, each rising sun,
reminds us of the price they paid.
The roots and flowers are ever one—
their love, their courage, never fade.
And so we vow, with steady hands,
to guard this earth where spirits rest.
The past still lives within these lands,
the roots remember—
we are blessed.

Mama Bear’s Message
Little ones, my cubs so dear,
Gather close and always hear:
Love each other, hand in hand,
Share your hearts across the land.
The forest thrives when spirits care,
When kindness lingers in the air.
Give your strength, your joy, your song,
Together, you will grow up strong.
Remember this, wherever you go,
The seeds of love will always grow.
For nothing shines, both near and far,
Like the bond of who you are.

"The Church Without Walls"
They asked me once, "Where is your church?"

I smiled and pointed to the horizon.

“To the east, where the sun rises and paints the sky with fire - there, I begin my prayers.
To the north, where the winds carry the wisdom of the ancestors - I listen and learn.
To the west, where the sun dies gently each day - I give thanks for the lessons.
To the south, where life grows and renews - I find healing and hope.”

My church does not have doors, but it welcomes all.
Its roof is the sky, sometimes fierce with storms, sometimes calm with stars.
Its walls are made of pine and river, stone and silence.
And its teachings are written in birdsong, in paw prints, in the way the water moves over stone.

Nature is not something I worship.
It is something I belong to.

I carry no book, for the Earth writes stories in every leaf and every breath.
I follow no preacher, but I follow the wolf, the crow, the cedar tree.
They have never lied to me.

So no, I don’t need a building to find my spirit.
I just need to stand barefoot in the soil and remember:

The Earth is my church.
And nature is my religion.
