"Native Land Digital" is an indigenous-led, Canadian-based non-profit group seeking to raise awareness of where original Native American tribes owned property. They admit that this is a work in progress, not perfect, and seek corrections. Thought the CT map (with some NY) was quite interesting.Submitted by CTHistory42 t3_10gx1la in Connecticut

Really, really cool. And I just love "Podunk" as a word; didn't realize it came from a native tribe. TIL.

I thought it was a nickname for Poughkeepsie actually

That stood out to me too. So every time someone uses that term they're insulting a native American tribe... I had no idea.
