I'm confused. A lot of these areas overlap. Are these areas of land ownership or something else? How do you have multiple owners of the same physical location?

- CameronNemo 6y agoNomadic societies, shifting borders, partially shared residence. There are other possible explanations.
- labster 6y agoIn my area, there are several bands of Chumash -- Ventureño, Obispeño, etc -- all of which are the same nation, but different bands. Both are shown on this map, the set and its subsets. But, of course, some people would have a territory, then another people would come in and claim it as their own territory because the other people weren't "using" it. This started well before 1492 -- and based on nature, probably began long before the Homo genus ever appeared on Earth.
