Looking at the map above, you don't see borders. Just a fragile environment.

People were opportunistic, in a good way. They migrated for hunting, gathering, and fishing. They were also interested in what was out there. There were communities, some large. They would also have get together. Meet and trade, then go off in collectives to sustain their lives for the season. At the same time, native people weren't all angels. Some fought one another, there were enemy nations. The arrival of Europeans only complicated things.

Some interesting history here.

There's the written history post Columbus, and the word passed down from generations. I don't know much about the Canadian Natives but yes along with war amongst tribes in Southeast Alaska there was a lot of mutual trading and collaboration. That's why I'm part Haida, Tsimpshean, English, and Scandinavian!

Not just people with mixed backgrounds. Huskies too.

The good lady of an aging bass player goes to the OBGYN for her annual checkup down in the ladies department.
After the exam the MD asks her how the lovelife is generally. The lady replies:

"Well. Since he's retired from the road and is getting old generally, to be honest it isn't what it used to be..."

"Have you tried Viagra?" asks the MD.

"OH Doctor! You know that sine he and the rest of the band got clean in the 90s, he won't take an aspirin! How the heck am I going to get him to take Viagra?"

"Easy" says the Doc. "I will prescribe it in powder form and all you do is slip a sachet into his herbal tea when he's not looking. Job done."

So off she goes to Walgreens with her prescription.

A couple of weeks later she's back at the OBGYN for her test results. The MD asks her how she's getting on with the Viagra.

"OH doc! It was terrible!"

"What do you mean? Didn't work? Side effects?"

"Oh no! It worked alright. I did as you suggested. I slipped a sachet into his morning tea and bam! Fifteen minutes later he bent me over a Marshall cabinet, and well, went to town! It was terrible!"

"Doesn't sound terrible to me..." says the OBGYN.

"Oh don't get me wrong! It was like the 70s and me being a young slim teenage groupie all over again."

"But?"

"Well. I will never be able to show my face in Guitar Center ever again..."
