even if its a legal description in the US, if you're not using the legal term (which is of course racist), then using the term for Indigenous folx on Turtle Island is just being racist. It would be like using the "n" word to describe people of African descent, regardless of what racist legal terms you are comfortable deploying.

wikipedia seriously needs to have a conversation with itself and its community around decolonization and being occupiers of Indigenous territory (my lineage is not Indigenous, just to be clear) Kikila mai Tawhiti (talk) 10:31, 27 January 2024 (UTC)

:Indian is also a legal term in Canada. By the way I have heard that calling North America Turtle Island can be considered annoying and rude to Indigenous peoples outside of the northeastern part of the continent. It implies that only one particular group of Indigenous peoples count. CambridgeBayWeather (solidly non-human), Uqaqtuq (talk), Huliva 20:57, 29 January 2024 (UTC)

::Despite being a legal term, it ought to be in brackets. Wikipedia has been pretty consistent in supporting structural white supremacy, and this is one of the ways it does that - by repeating racism, even if it's "legal" (btw, the legal system in canada is a racist import designed to benefit from the genocide of Indigenous peoples, so what's "legal" ought not to be a guiding definition).

::As for what you've heard, that's not what my experience is showing me. It's more problematic to call people a dated, racist term. We can be corrected in person by Indigenous peoples we spend time in place with on the Turtle Island angle. Kikila mai Tawhiti (talk) 19:19, 2 February 2024 (UTC)

A map was recently added to the infobox, but it is very difficult to decipher due to the way it is designed. I will be removing it for now until the map can be improved. The colors for 3–5% and +20% are almost identical and on certain screens render as identical. Additionally the difference between 1–2% and 2–3% and 3–5% are also extremely hard to decipher, especially for anyone who is even slightly vision impaired. What is needed is more various of color schemes across the spectrum, and more variation of value/tone in the colors used. Please improve, and re-add the map once the corrections or redesign is made.
