no I want to present this to maskwacis education and when they ask where are we I don't want to say "under ice and don't exist."

Given the breadth of cultures found throughout the Americas prior to 1492, I can't exactly fault the creators or Crow & Coyote for being unable to include them all. With a project of this nature, someone is either going to be left out or they're not going to appreciate the depiction of their people or perhaps the depiction of another group. I mean, hey, in the setting my ancestors were all killed off and this somehow leads to a utopia. Not sure how I feel about that one.
It's entirely possible you just can't use C&C for what you'd like to use it for.

yeah, but it's not like I'm asking for some no name tribe of 3 people.
It's the Cree. more or less the first nation equivelent of "John Smith" or "Jane Smith" in Western Canada.
I do have a work around and have connected to the community.
The ice free coordor.
It's more or less allows a strip in alberta to have habitation without contradicting the setting.

Sure, do as you like.
The creators have already gone over all of this. And they have additional information on their Discord.
Like literally.. they have already talked to this = https://coyoteandcrow.net/2020/06/18/real-word-tribes-in-coyote-and-crow/
And there are people who are from the indigenous tribes who have also talked about this, and signed off on it where they felt the need to.

Yeah I'm proud of my work, but realizing I went a little too hubris on this so apologizing on this one.
It's not my story to tell.
I just have to accept this won't work for my plans.

From a setting standpoint, they need the artic to be impassable. No boats making it to Russia, no survivable route across the Bering ice. They could have gone full ice age down to 38th or 37th parallel but that would have wiped out all the civilizations north of the Mason Dixon, plus the maps would have gone squirrelly from the lowered sea levels.
You could instead pose it as the hypothetical it is. "When (not if, when) another mini-ice age occurs on Earth, what would that do to people in this area?"
The answer is some flavor of "most of us pick up and move south. The folks to the south are not going to be ecstatic to see us, given that their own ecosystem now looks significantly different than it did before."
Or maybe they would be happy to see you, because you know how to deal with six months of freezing temps and they don't.

Oh the irony, but this is what you get when you market an RPG on the merits of its 'minority' representation. Because no matter what you do it can never be enough.

I personally preferred what Haunted West did here, but they wanted to deal with the erasure of PoC in the Old West head-on rather than just sidestep history completely and write a new one.
