      Not criticizing this, just trying to better understand: what do the overlapping territories mean? I assume there’s a reason why they overlap

        Before colonization, they lived in stateless societies without borders and the population density was generally low so sometimes multiple nations would live in the same area. Many groups were also nomadic, especially on the Plains.

          Ah that makes a lot of sense. I was also sorta wondering about the legislation issue. I assume that the overlapping groups would come to a compromise on certain laws in those overlapped regions but it’s a bit confusing because in the US we have states with different laws and once you cross official state lines you know that the laws change (even if you don’t know specifics of which laws changed and how different they are but you know it’s different). Admittedly a dumb question but if you go from the Blue region to the purple-ish blue region is there a change in laws or do they stay the same until you pass into the purple region? As I’m asking this part of me is understanding that this is mostly up to the Indigenous groups that run the territory but what are your 2 cents on the matter?

            You would probably have to draw clear borders and have different groups compromise on where to draw the line. Since a lot of natives were exiled to Oklahoma, some nations might be split with one section in their homeland and one where their reservations are now, and both sections could be part of the same ASSR or whatever you would call the regions.
