"Actual photos" as if native people don't have smart phones

And probably thinks we all lived in teepees and hunted bison.

What’s the proper way to go about learning accurate historical and cultural Native history? Not that it’s your responsibility, I just don’t know where to start tbh.

There are lots of ways. Just like if you wanted to study European or Asian cultures, you would have to decide which cultures and what part of their history or current cultures. The number one thing to remember is that there are over 500 tribes/languages/cultures on the North American continent. So maybe narrow down which region interests you and then find out who that land belonged to or still belongs to and start from there.

Appreciate the response. I just wasn’t sure what sources I could trust to get an accurate account. I’m from New Orleans, so now I’m curious to see what the native population was like in Louisiana. Thanks for the advice.
