The original is a chromolithograph map of North America showing American Indian or Native American or First Nations language groups for the Seventh Annual Report of the Bureau of American Ethnology. Covering all of North America from Honduras to the Arctic. Fifty-eight American Indian regions are identified based upon Powell's careful analysis of regional linguistic groupings. The map gives interesting insights into the early relationships between the various tribes. The Iroquois Confederacy dominates area around Lake Erie, the St Lawrence, and the Susquehanna Valley as far south as the Chesapeake Bay. Another Iroquois groups occupies western Carolina, Eastern Tennessee, and northern Georgia. Siouan dominates the great plains, but there is also an interesting Siouan outpost in the Carolina Piedmont. The western coast, including much of California, Washington and Oregon, feature s a wealth of languishing groups. Given that this area was relatively late to settlement, one wonders if the monolithic linguistic blocks notable throughout the remainder of North America are suggestive of consolidation of American Indian groups in the face of European colonialism. John Wesley Powell was a U.S. soldier, geologist, explorer of the American West, and a university professor. He is famous for the 1869 Powell Geographic Expedition, a three-month river trip down the Green and Colorado rivers, including the first official U.S. government-sponsored passage through the Grand Canyon.
