Small map map titled "
Linguistic Groups of California and Their Families", compiled by Alfred L. Kroeber. It was originally published in 1925 as Plate No. 1 of the "Handbook of the Indians of California" (Bureau of American Ethnology, Bulletin 78).
This map is a significant historical and anthropological document that delineates the boundaries of the various Native American language groups and their classification into broader linguistic stocks or families within California. The map uses different colors and labels to identify dozens of distinct groups and families, such as the Hokan, Penutian, and Athapascan, illustrating the immense linguistic diversity of the region before European contact. |
