This Interactive Map Shows Which Indigenous Lands You Live On
The nonprofit behind the tool wants people to learn the history of the spaces they inhabit
Editor’s note, November 19, 2024: Due to concerns over the accuracy of a map identifying the homelands of Indigenous communities in North America, we have decided to retract this article. After further editorial review and greater assessment alongside our colleagues at the Smithsonian Institution, we found that the map did not meet the standards of scholarship we expect of academic projects we cover as part of our editorial purview. In this case, because the entire article was based on the map, we made the decision to retract the article—a decision we did not make lightly. We thank you for putting your trust in Smithsonian magazine.
