Ok Sarah. Let’s speak American. You first. Which dialect?

Problem with that map is that it’s a snapshot in time. About the same time the first of the French fur traders showed up here on the southern shore of Superior, the Ojibwa were just finishing shoving the Lakota out of the woodlands and onto the plains where most whites, if they have any knowledge of Native Americans at all, would think of them being. It was, from the oral history and archaeological evidence, a fairly nasty little war.

Doesn’t negate the basic lesson you’re making. It’s just a reminder that they have as long a history as Europeans and Asians do but we ignore it even more utterly than we do rest of the non- ‘Murican history.
