It mentions Choctaw were the most numerous of the Muskogean speaking peoples to cross from the east to the west bank of the Mississippi River and Choctaw western migrations in the decade after the resettlement of the Apalachees at Rapide along the Red River and Choctaw were integral to the French trade in deer trade.

Starting with a widely-used map, William C. Sturtevant's Early Tribes, Culture Areas, and Linguistic Stocks it utilizes a genealogical framework to trace the map's intellectual history, academic genealogy, and cartographic antecedents. I argue that social-scientific maps developed as part of a transatlantic circulation of ideas regarding natural science, philology, and the place of American Indians in the world.

For nearly thirty years I worked hard to forge a political party that will fight for the working class and oppressed (first in the Labor Party then the Green Party). As I did this, I got an earful from self-described “leftists” who were trapped inside the Democratic Party arguing that "this election is the most important in our lifetime" and "the Republicans are Fascists." In the past, I laughed at them. No more.

Since the 1990s, it has blossomed into a cultural aesthetic, philosopy of science, and history that focuses on the intersection of the African diaspora with science and technology.
More recently, Grace Dillon's anthology Walking the Clouds: An Anthology of Indigenous Science Fiction (2012) draws on science fiction, worldbuilding, slipstream (cf Gerald Viznor) and others to explore how science-fiction can aid processes of decolonization.
Thus far, little is written about Afro-Indigenous futurisms, especially in the context of North America. The purpose of this bibliography and reading list is to explore the intersections of Afro-futurism and Indigenous Futurisms.
