I was watching a documentary about the rise of Eastern Coyotes the other day, and it got me wondering about the threads here that discussing domesticating OTL wild animals. So what if at some point Pre Columbian tribes could have domesticated Coyotes in a manner similar to the wolf in Eurasia.

Horses evolved in the planes of the north american continent. Eventually in prehistoy (can't remember the time frame, it was before the rise of civilization but they were domesticated after) most horse breeds had migrated to Afro-eurasia, or gone extinct. What if they remained in America in...

Hypothetical: If native americans (and lets say mesoamericans and south americans as well) had developed iron and steel metallurgy on their own, what would their weapons and armor look like? (This is a question mainly for the After the End mod for Crusader Kings 2)

I've had an idea floating around in my head for some time about the possibility of the Founding Fathers adopting a Tricameral Legislature, and how such a branch would function and what roles it would have. I want to have a discussion about it without regard to the plausibility of it's enactment...

Before and during WW2, there was an active plan for Nazi Germany to recruit Native Americans to their side against the United States. https://www.thevintagenews.com/2016/09/15/nazis-considered-sioux-extension-native-americans-aryans-2/ There was a deeper reason for this; according to my...

I recently posted a thread asking why Native Americans never developed ironworking independently. Now I'd like to ask: what if they did?

Alright, so with a pod of 1607, how do we make the USA have more Native Influence, like how Latin America does?

As far as I know, Native Americans never independently developed ironworking. Why is that?

For the purposes of this scenario, let's suppose that the United States is in a troublesome position at this point in the American Revolutionary War (how it comes to be in this position is up to discussion). The Thirteen Colonies are under such stress that they are willing to accept any treaty...

As we all know, North America has a very small amount of native americans, only adding up to around 1% of the US population, and about 5% of the Canadian population. But how could this have been changed? What would you need to have large and thriving Native populations today, and maybe even...

Introduction brown soil into red mud. Jumonville glen 1754. Lieutenant Colonel George Washington of the Virginia militia, surveyed the situation around him, the situation had soured quickly and he needed to get a handle of the situation, he knew that they were under attack, by the French, by...

Assuming no European colonialism, either through an Americapox scenario or butterflying European "discovery," is a unified Caribbean possible? Or likely? If so, which society would succeed at it? I'm specifically envisioning a native Caribbean "mare nostrum" equivalent, whereby the major...

Your challenge is to have at least one Native American country survive attempts at settlement/colonization and exist in the present day.

Despite being heavily associated with the American Southwest, the Navajo and Apache are believed to have been originally from Northwestern Canada and Eastern Alaska. What if they'd stayed there?

Despite being perhaps the most iconic Native Americans of the Great Plains, the Sioux were not originally from there. They were originally Eastern Woodlands natives who lived along the Upper Mississippi before being driven west by the Ojibwe, their traditional enemies who had recently obtained a...

With any pre-20th century pod you want, make the European colonial empires as equal as possible to their nonwhite subjects. I imagine that we'd need to limit the slave trade incredibly, to prevent the association of black people with chattel slavery. Not quite sure what to do about the natives...

If you look at a map of the world you can usually find a place that escaped the europeans during colonialism. your ethiopias, japans, or turkeys. There is one massive exception. The Americas. There isn't an industrialized Incan Republic, or a Chinook empire from Alaska to the Bay of California...

After countless months of research (and by research I mean crying myself to sleep every night after trying to get a grasp on the academic hell that is any sort of scholarly consensus on pre-Columbian North American history), I think I have a pretty decent understanding on the peoples, cultures...
