Is "Indigenous Americas" one people? No. The label groups many communities that share historical contact, trade or aesthetic exchange. Local identities remain primary. Cultures are not sports teams. This atlas explains practices and histories without superior/inferior scores. Major lingua francas and heritage languages appear together; minority tongues are named where they structure identity.
