The title of this map is Percent American Indian and Alaska Native. There are many more Native Americans on the west side of the Mississippi River. On the east side, however, there are very few Native Americans. The majority of them are clustered in Oklahoma and The Four Corners.

One of the reasons why Native Americans could be on the west side of the Mississippi is because they were forced to move when we were taking the land. They were mainly moved to Oklahoma in the 1800’s. A lot of Native Americans like the Hopi lived in the Four Corners area and their descendants still live there today.

Native Americans in these regions add a lot of culture to the society. There is different architecture and farming techniques the we have picked up. Politically people in these regions would try to be more energy efficient, and environmentally friendly.
