"Growing the Territories one seed at a time!" --Homesteader motto

A glimpse into the maps and art from The Bird Tribe trilogy.

Ji-ji's national map showing the U.S. divided into the Eastern and Western SuperStates, the segregated Homestead Territories where the botanical classification system holds sway, the Unaligned Territories, and the Madlands.

Uncle Dreg's map of the Freedom Race route Ji-ji must take through the old Commonwealth of Virginia, which now encompasses a wild, lawless region known as The Margins.

Ji-ji's first map of Planting 437, one of hundreds of plantings throughout the Homestead Territories, which seceded from the Union and addressed the labor shortage by importing people from the Cradle and the islands and reclassifying them as "botanicals" or "seeds."
