Middle East needs fixing

Disappointed

This app doesnโ€™t work. All it is is a colored map of the various tribes. The resources tab wonโ€™t open. All you can do is turn the colors on or off. I was really looking for information to learn more about the indigenous peoples of North America. This isnโ€™t it.

They need to study the land better. Incorrect tribes in the plains.

They have Tsuutโ€™ina as a large part of southern Alberta. Tsuutina got given 1 reservation to the west of Calgary by the Blackfoot confederacy. Because tsuutina joined the Blackfoot confederacy and as soon as they were given land they left and started to make deals with the Europeans. Blackfoot land was all the way from Edmonton down to Wyoming all the way iver to North Dakota and up to southern Saskatchewan but they only have a small spot on the map. Not sure if the creator of this app is prejudice or what.

Needs refurbishing

The app is lovely but most of the features are unusable outside of the treaties and colors buttons.

Crashes and features donโ€™t work

When it worked properly it was amazing! But the majority of the features no longer work and/or cause the app to crash
