Map Description:
Este mapa de la Promotora Española de Lingüística (Proel) ilustra la distribución de dos grupos indios grandes en Norteamérica, los indios atabascanos y los indios algonquinos. Según PROEL, las idiomas vistas aquí diferencian dramáticamente en su número de hablantes; algo de más en peligro (por ejemplo, el Ingalik) tiene menos de 100 mientras que otros tienen millares (el Ojibwa).
This map by the Promotora Española de Lingüística (Proel) shows the distribution of two large Native American language groups in North America, the Athapaskan and the Algonquin groups. According to PROEL, the languages represented range dramatically in their number of speakers; some of the most endangered (such as Ingalik) have fewer than 100 while others have thousands (Ojibwa).

Early Indian Tribes, Culture Areas and Language Stocks in Alaska (Sturtevant)
Early Indian Tribes, Culture Areas and Language Stocks in Alaska

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.
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:
This map illustrates the following: 1) it shows the locations of various ethnic groups; 2) it shows settlements of the Vikings and 3) it displays the locations of pidgins in Northeastern Canada and Greenland. Furthermore, it points out the influence of bilingualism. It is important to note that where there are no arrows, English is the dominant second language.

Map Description:
Based on anthropologists’ traditional division of North American Indian culture areas and the most conservative classification of American Indian languages, there are four large culture areas with three major language families in northern North America. The Arctic, a single culture area, is dominated by Eskimo-Aleut language speakers. The Western Subarctic is the area of Na-Dene languages, while the Eastern Subarctic culture speaks Algonquian-Ritwan languages. Northwest Coast includes the culture area with Na-Dene and smaller language families. However, it is noteworthy that the Salishan language is not discussed as a major family.
