This map shows the mass reduction, in the lands that were claimed by the Native American people from 1784, to the current "Indian" reservation that they are left with today. I personally find this map interesting because not only does it show how much of America was inhabited by the numerous Native American tribes, but it also shows how much was taken from them and the pitiful amount they are left with to try and survive and thrive on in these so called "Reservations". Furthermore this map continues to pose the question about the colonization of America in whether or not it was merely the genocide of the Native American people.
