A Map of Native Names v0.1: an ongoing project of mine (www.google.com)

submitted 11 months ago by alyaza to c/humanities

13 comments fedilink hide all child comments

awhile back i did a brief post on native names for major cities for the website Cohost. anyways, i've spent approximately the past week assembling place names for a much more comprehensive map--as of writing, more than 1,000 individual points from approximately 60 different sources are listed--and you can find that at the submission link here.

this is what i'm calling v. 0.1 of this project and pretty much the moment this post goes up i'll be back to adding new names. because this is such a large project i've only gotten around to a handful of states in great detail—but rest assured, a lot more is coming. the next big part of the map in progress is the Ojibwe sphere of influence which should knock out most of the Great Lakes area.

any errors or corrections you happen to notice are appreciated

I also understand the reaction, it was still a bit rude and could have been omitted from public record.
