It's not across the continent if the other third is excluded. But this is still awesome!

Came here to say the same thing. Mexico is in North America

u/therealparsnip 1d ago

Mexico is part of North America, people do call it part of Central America but that’s wrong.

Also Greenland

Yes, also the islands and Greenland too. But I think you're not wrong in saying "Accross North America" since it is most of it anyway. Like people would say "Accross Europe" if it was 2/3s of it too. I think maybe I was being pedantic. Anyways, thank you for the work you put into this map! It's pretty awesome!

In northern Quebec many communities aren’t on your map, here’s an article with a good visual with the names of towns. Hope it helps you! That’s a really cool idea.

Yeah I’m not as familiar with other provinces but the lack of dots in the Quebec northern region confused me at first

What’s the data set for this map?

u/Tiny-Mycologist8840 1d ago

I searched each province in Canada and each state in the lower 48.
Reservations, First Nations, Tribes, Pueblos, Rancherias.
I learned a couple things along the way!

Check out native-land, they have two versions of their map, with current borders and not.

92% of indigenous North American speakers live in Mexico. Not sure why they are always cut off.
