Yes, and if Cochise had become King, history would be different.

Here's one of those savages, probably weaving that robe to smother white babies with.

Poor Jane McCrea went to pieces... chopped to pieces, in 1777 by savages employed by England.
Turns out she was engaged to a loyalist, which undermined the British claim they were in control, as well as the promise to protect loyalists.
Of course it pissed off the patriots having British employees running around yelling, where the white women at?

You can see the cell phone picture quality varied quite a bit back then.

It doesn't look like her portrait is going to make it onto the $10 bill redesign in 2020 now does it.

Now if the Indians had a strong anti-immigration policy, North America would look something like this.

I don't understand... it says you and I live in Powhatan when we clearly live in Lenapehoking...

The question is, the area was called Lenapehoking by whom? Your link says by the Lenape because they considered the tribes in that area bros. However when the Lenape bitched about the deal with Willy Penn, they appealed to the Iroquois confederacy who claimed hegemony over most of that area, including where you live.

Two problems. One ~ the confusion between what the natives called themselves, what other tribes called them, and what Europeans called them. Two ~ the Indian culture was not land ownership as we know it, but the right to hunt/fish/gather and temporarily camp in the area, meaning fuzzy boundaries.

The author of the projected 2015 map assumes by now the boundaries would be firm like we know it. He chose Powhatan, as they were the most powerful tribe on the eastern seaboard, and projected the area would be consolidated under their name. But who knows, it could be Zapataland
