A random thought--if the PoD is in New England, will modern New Hampshire and Maine be the site of major centers along the lakes there (i.e. Moosehead Lake, Sebago Lake, Lake Winnipesaukee, etc.)? Or other New England lakes, like Lake Champlain, or in the Connecticut River Basin lakes like New Hampshire's Lake Sunapee. OTL these lakes were and still are host to resort towns, and their outflow rivers powered mill towns which at one point helped drive New England industry which became the basis of the United States itself. If your Amerindians have the wheel, this will be an important area as it was for Euroamericans, since the lakes will have lots of fish to gather (although you don't need the wheel to harvest lots of fish from those lakes). New England's lakes and ponds, let alone the rivers, could serve important sites of food production (i.e. floating gardens/chinampas).
Of course, I could go the easy way and title it "Lands of X and X", but that's been done to death by this point.
Agree, it's kind of cliche at this point. Although like any cliche, it exists for a reason (LoRaG and Ice and Mice are legendary and get brought up in other forums). But it does give the audience an idea of what to expect, and there isn't any TL using a "Lands of X and Y" formula currently running.
I'm bad at coming up with names, but the one I have so far is "Upon the Waters: A History of Borealamerica and Beyond" or something to that effect.
Wouldn't it be "Boreoamerica?" Although personally I've never liked the AH trope of renaming common things and places unless it can be justified in the setting (which puts me in a cold sweat when it comes to scientific concepts and units of measure named after OTL scientists--can't have watts, newtons, volts, or degrees Fahrenheit/Celsius, let alone something like Hawking radiation!).
For my own TL,
A Horn of Bronze, I ended up with an abstract name--"horn" because reindeer and mountain goats, essential to the TL, have horns, "bronze" because it makes the audience expect a Bronze Age at some point, and at some point "horn" made me think of a horn of plenty, implying agricultural wealth. It also makes a good element for a personal name (like some great leader). An abstract and multifaceted name like that is always nice, although I don't know if I picked the best name for my TL.
I think me and the others loaded that thread with OTL comparisons and nitpicky speculation for basically every possible aspect you could look at, concerning that very specific topic. The hunting, social and military repercussions, the construction and performance limitations and drawbacks if bronze or iron metallurgy is never invented, etc.
That thread has lots of great information, I used it for my own TL. It's interesting why Amerindian crossbows ended up so restricted in distribution when they could be useful weapons for hunting small game or even larger game/warfare assuming poison tips, since it could be useful for children, women, the elderly, or the crippled. One can imagine a California Indian shooting squirrels with their crossbow while gathering acorns. Or a group of old men and women of some Coast Salish group in their fort shooting poison darts at hostile raiders who thought they'd have an easy raid since the men were away.
We've had a fair few more developed-agriculture-and-tech timelines for Native American cultures, but the more, the merrier.
