Early Indian Tribes, Culture Areas and Language Stocks in Alaska (Sturtevant)
Early Indian Tribes, Culture Areas and Language Stocks in Alaska
Map Creator: William C. Sturtevant
Source: Perry-Castañeda Library Map Collection. Historical Maps of the United States.
Data Source: Early Indian Tribes, Culture Areas, and Linguistic Stocks. The National Atlas of the United States of America. Washington, D.C.: U.S. Dept. of the Interior, Geological Survey, 1970.
Date Created: 1967
Map Description:
Illustrated here are the Native American tribes of Alaska and the Aleutian Islands along with their linguistic stocks, as hypothesized by Sturtevant. He notes that tribal distributions depicted are sometimes arbitrary, as the information used to determine them was gathered over a large span of time. He also states that the cultural areas which indicate "minor" tribes that share cultural traits are vaguely classified at times, and that the distribution of many cultural traits does not coincide (Sturtevant).

Map Description:
Español: Mapa de los subgrupos dialectales del Quechua.
English: This map shows the dialectal sub-groups of Quechua.
It is estimated that, including all dialects, there are about 10 million Quechua speakers - this number is contested, however, due to underreporting and migration. The largest known concentration is in Peru where the 1993 census estimated their speaker population to be around 3.2 million.

Northern North America: Salishan: Contemporary
Salishan in Contemporary Northern North America
Data Sources:
Golla, Victor, Ives Goddard, Lyle Camplbell, Marianne Mithun and Mauricio Mixco. 2007. North America. In R. E. Asher & Christopher Moseley (eds.), Atlas of the World's Languages. 42. Oxford: Routledge.
Date Digitized: May 2010.
Map Description:
The polygons and points represent concentrations of first-language speakers of Salishan languages. Polygons represent land or areas primarily occupied by first-language speakers whereas points show communities with varying numbers of speakers.
This original map was made by vectorizing data from the MultiTree language database and the Atlas of the World's Languages.
