[QUOTE="CWD, post: 791407, member: 665"] No problem, though I accidentally said Tisambe was influenced by the Fulani and San when I meant Tuslan (like I was saying about screwing up your facts...) Anyhow, if you'd like more historical authenticity in your fantasy, great! I'm also a big Ars Magica fan. Obviously, trying to cover all of North America in a reasonable amount of space is a wasted effort unless you're willing to "fantasize" things like I did, so you're better off concentrating on a small group of cultures. After all, if you look at the differences between the southwest, the northwest, alaksa, the south, the east coast, etc., etc. there's way too much material there to cover in detail unless you make it your life's work. If you want to play to people's preconceptions and misconceptions, I'd suggest focusing on the Plains region to start. That's what most people think of (for right or for wrong) when they hear the word "Indian" or "Native American". Now I know you said that you want to avoid sterotypes. That's fine. Starting your effort with plains indians isn't pandering to a sterotype, since there is a lot of variety in just that one area. Just make the material as accurate as possible and let people learn where their preconceptions are correct and where they are wrong. As usual YMMV. I'm going to bail on this thread now though, because I've got too many other things on my plate right now. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
