Aaron Carapella is a self-taught cartographer who makes maps of the locations and names of Pre-Columbian Indigenous tribes of North America circa 1490. He is part Cherokee on his mother's side and his grandparents instilled a deep interest in Native American culture. At age 19, he began his map-making research and as of 2014, he has made maps of indigenous tribes with their original names for the continental United States, Canada, and Mexico. ==Biography== Carapella is from Warner, Oklahoma. He told NPR that he is "mixed-blood Cherokee" on his mother's side〔 and lives in a ranch house in the Cherokee Nation.〔 He also speaks Cherokee and Spanish, and has a bachelor's degree in marketing from Indiana Institute of Technology.〔〔 His grandparents on his mother's side, instilled in him a deep interest in Native Americans: When he was a teenager, he wanted to find a map of the United States that depicted all of the Native American tribes on it. He went to numerous powwows, but he could never find a map that depicted all of the tribes. Instead, he typically found maps that depicted 50 to 100 tribes.〔 He told Rick Smith writing for ''Win Awenen Nisitotung'' that When he was younger, he described himself as a "radical youngster" who was involved in Native American causes and protested Columbus Day. He is a member of the American Indian Movement.〔 Now, he focuses on map making as "a way to convey the truth in a different way". 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Aaron Carapella」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
