<h1>🏡 Whose Land Do You Live On?</h1>
<h2>Week 18 &bull; Thursday &bull; Native Nations Near You</h2>

<h3>📖 Reading Time</h3>
<div class="reading-box">

<p>Here is something amazing: wherever you live in North America, a Native nation lived there first — maybe for thousands of years! The rivers near your home had names in their languages. The trails they walked may have become your roads.</p>

<p>Many places still carry Native names today. Whole states do — like <strong>Ohio</strong>, <strong>Michigan</strong>, and <strong>Texas</strong>! Rivers like the Mississippi and cities like Chicago and Seattle have Native names too.</p>

<p>And here is the most important part: those nations are not just history — they are still here today, with communities all across the country. Today you will discover which nations lived — and still live — near YOU.</p>
