The Handbook of North American Indians

 The Handbook of North American Indians is a series of edited scholarly and reference volumes in Native American studies, published by the Smithsonian Institution beginning in 1978


I noticed this in the Wikipedia article about Aaron Carapella - that he used these books as a reference to make his maps.

So I am trying to find where to read them. SO far no luck and they are 300 dollars each on eBay

Mystery Photo Game

I am trying to start a Mystery Photo Game. The key is the right hashtags on X. My #$%&* website that I love has a period in the middle.- memory.industries - And you can't have periods in hashtags., Grrr.

I guess it is unique enough to use without the period so the hashtag will be #memoryindustries on X if you would like to try to guess the mystery.

Search X/Twitter for my Mystery Photo Game #memoryindustries
