The British Colombia part of the map is very inaccurate. Not sure about the rest. Appreciate the sentiment though.

Blatant coast Salish erasure!

I was wondering where Coast Salish was hiding.

Also Sioux isn't a native name, it was given to the Lakota people and others by the French colonizers.

Haida Gwaii taking up the entire interior yet isn't even in the map gave me a chuckle. Trying to raise some awareness or getting people to think about it is still somewhat helpful, I think, as long as we can use it as an opportunity to point out this map is flawed and that people should take the time to learn about the nations in their area.
