Pub Note:
"This remarkable piece of illustrated cartography was designed by Michael Mcardle-Nakoma and published in 2012, approximately 16 years after the first edition was issued (see our 9090.000) . According to the author’s text below the title, “This map, after many years of research, places the tribes in the approximate and predominant historical locations when in full-flower – the ‘Glory Days.” " (Curtis Wright, 2024) Portraits of indigenous leaders and representative profiles are noted throughout the image and in the borders. Other vignettes highlight important architectural sites, various forms of habitation, and objects of cultural relevance like body looms and peace pipes. Blocks of text provide descriptive information and historical background for various regional groups ranging from Mesoamerica to the Arctic Circle. Michael Mcardle-Nakoma is a Native American Minnesota artist, lecturer, writer, singer, and dancer. Nakoma’s strong Anishinabe-Lakota cultural traditions are reflected in his works and writings, though the verses he composes and the values expressed are general to the ancient teachings of all tribes. With over 3,000 presentations since the 1950’s, Nakoma is an established and respected speaker, endeavoring to foster a truer understanding of the Native American and the ancient, good values of the traditional pathway. His knowledge of ancient wisdom, earth sciences and astronomy offer an audience great insight into Mother Earth, Father Sky and the meanings of the Great Circle of Life, symbolized by the Medicine Wheel.
