This is an updated edition of Powell's Linguistic Stocks of American Indians North of Mexico issued in 1890 for the Seventh Annual Report of the Bureau of Ethnology. The map is very colorful and highly useful in understanding the linguistic relationships of the various Native American tribes. While covering most of North America, the focus of the map is the Native American tribes of the United States, with particularly good detail of tribes in the Southeast and West Coast. Two small insets at lower left show the Aleutian Islands and eastern Siberia. Chromolithographed by Julius Bien in New York.

The map is still bound into the back of the 972-page Handbook of American Indians North of Mexico, Part I edited by Frederick Webb Hodge. According to the Letter of Transmittal, the volume represents a comprehensive list of the "stocks, confederacies, tribes, tribal divisions, and settlement north of Mexico." The volume is written in encyclopedic form with Part I covering letters A-M. Hardbound in green cloth with gilt title on spine.
