from Southeast Texas

Most of the US and Canada but no Gulf Coast or Mex

Got this to read selections from to Cub Scouts during campouts but I'm greatly disappointed with the lack of anything from the South in general. I looked through the list of tribes hoping to find stories from more "local" tribes of the Gulf Coast and South East but the mention of Northern Texas and the Trail of Tears in my picture are about as close as it gets. Calcasieu, Hasinai, and Natchitoches were all part of the Caddo people but they lived in East Texas, Louisiana. What about the Mississippi peoples? Any Floridian tribes like the Miami? This is, of course, not mentioning the incredible number of peoples who live in what is now Mexico. I'm glad that the authors are giving life to the legends they are but having a quarter of the US and effectively the entirety of Mexico left out is a letdown for me.
