This is an updated edition of Powell's Linguistic Stocks of American Indians North of Mexico issued in 1890 for the Seventh Annual Report of the Bureau of Ethnology. The map is very colorful and highly useful in understanding the linguistic relationships of the various Native American tribes. While covering most of North America, the focus of the map is the Native American tribes of the United States, with particularly good detail of tribes in the Southeast and West Coast. Two small insets at lower left show the Aleutian Islands and eastern Siberia. Chromolithographed by Julius Bien in New York.
