Good evening everyone, my name is Lop, I'm from Brazil so I'm sorry if my English isn't the best, I'm having to use a translator to write this message. I intend to make a Steven Universe AU where the story will take place around 3,800 years ago, a little after the end of the Gem War, the idea is that humans will have a greater participation in the Gem War, because of this Homeworld Gems consider the humans as a major obstacle in the path of Earth's colonization, so after the Diamonds launched their direct attack on Earth, driving most of the Crystal Gem army into corruption, they began a process of persecution and annihilation of all humans on planet Earth. . The story will unfold through this, the idea is to show how human beings are dealing with this genocide that has been damaging them, the consequences that the colonization of the land is bringing to them, it is a really bitter story, which deals with heavy themes, however that needs to be treated. The objective is not just to show the bitterness of experiencing a genocide, on the contrary, the objective is to show the bravery of resisting it, it is to portray a great struggle for liberation, in which humans fight bravely to free themselves and their home. Anyway, after this brief summary I will explain why I need help getting information about the native peoples of North America. The beginning of the story takes place in North America for narrative purposes, more specifically in that region where Beach City is located, which in the real world would be on the Delmarva peninsula. however, it was the Demalvar peninsula 3,800 years ago, well before the beginning of English colonization, that is, at that time there were only natives living in the region. During my research at that time, the natives who lived on the Delmarva peninsula spoke the Algonquian language, and going deeper I met the Lenape tribe, I forgot to mention but the protagonist will be a Native American girl, and I'm taking a lot of inspiration from the culture of the Lenape people. to create the character and his tribe. However, I'm still not sure what I'm doing, because I'm not sure if the Lenape culture is the most suitable to be the protagonist's inspiration, I'm afraid of making a mistake and ending up offending an entire community, so if you have any knowledge about the native people of this region, and commenting will be a great help, and don't be afraid to expose any of my mistakes in this post, I really want to do something right and I will be happy to be corrected if necessary.

:)
