Indian Cultures in North America Wall Map by National Geographic

Price range: $54.99 through $339.99

This legacy of language and inspired ideas are explored in this compelling North American Indian Cultures map.

Indian Cultures in North America

This wall map from National Geographic looks at the continent as it was before 16th-century European contact, when an estimated 30 million people lived here. Language is the organizing idea, and the result reads as much like a cultural atlas as a wall map.

  • Published by National Geographic.
  • Shows a broad sampling of linguistic families across the continent, each with a written description of the language group.
  • A dedicated inset highlights Native American innovations, from parkas and snow goggles to medicines and agricultural techniques.
  • Coverage reaches from Central America north through Canada, Alaska, and Greenland, and includes the Caribbean Islands.
  • No scale is applied. Cultural and language areas drive the layout rather than measured distance.
  • Companion piece to National Geographic’s Indian Country map.

History teachers and home school parents use it for pre-colonial units. Map Shop also finishes it laminated, mounted to foam core, railed, or framed for library walls and museum offices.

Laminated with Rails

First, we laminate the map, then mount wood rails at the top and bottom. The front side of each rail features a black or walnut finish, while the sides and back are unfinished wood. Sawtooth hardware is attached to the back of the top rail so it's ready to hang. You can use stickers or wet-erase markers on your laminated map. We recommend a mounted or framed option if you'd like to use map pins to mark locations.

Framed

Maps are laminated onto foam core, then secured into the frame. The engineered molding is made from recycled wood in either a black or walnut finish that wraps around the entire map. Most moldings are 2″ wide by 3/4″ deep, but maps 24″ x 36″ and smaller use a 1.25″ wide molding. You can use map pins, stickers, or wet-erase markers on all our framed maps. Ready-to-hang sawtooth hardware or wire hanging loops are included.
