image alt text: The states with a decent representation of counties whose names are of Native American origin include New York, Michigan, Arizona, and the western states. There is a surprising lack (in my opinion) in Texas, Tennessee, Montana, Wyoming, and the Dakotas.

Due to the size and proximity of the highlighted counties, the heatmap emphasizes regions between and including New York to Michigan, along with Mississippi.
