Is there a webiste....

Is there a website that tells what kind of indians lived where? Like, territory maps or something like you might find in some textbook? I'm curious as to find out who occupied where and when.

Sure, there are lots of them but they only cover from about the time of contact with Europeans and up. In other words, there isn't any written record of what "tribe" lived where for the vast majority of the pre history of the United States. In the area where I liver for example: When the French first came here it was occupied by the Hochunck. But this doesn't mean that the Hochunck lived here 500 years before the French got here, perhaps it was the Fox then... and 500 years before that it may have been the Sauk, 500 years before that it may have been a tribe that later merged with the Sioux, 500 years before that it may have been a "tribe" that no longer exists and there is no record of. Then we can start talking thousands of years ago...all this while the tribes developed or expanded from older ones and old ones merged or disappeared- so there is no way to say who lived where even a thousand years ago, we can tell what type of people lived there by the artifacts that are left, we can determine what their culture subsided on, a little about their life styles.. etc. but not their names.

Does anyone have any examples of these websites?

Cannonman17's reply is very intelligent.
Indeed tribes consistently migrated...battles, mostly, drove clans into unknown territories;
for Cannonman17's Sauk and Chippewa tribes could have originated in my state,
along side the Kickapoo, Miami and Potawatomi Indians.

But this should help in depicting tribe names / geography:

Viewing a map of Indian distribution in Missouri might best be accomplished by visiting your local library. The library may have a book or reference material that will help you. A university library would be even better.
