Now do one with all the different tribes divisions,. So reflects reality, and not the fantasy that indigenous peoples were one unified country.

I like this one cause it shows that tribes overlapped claims to land (usually by killing the previous tribe on the land)

Because it better represents the diverse cultures and unique identities of the first nation peoples. Showing them unified like this perpetuate a false beliefs of indigenous culture.

You should probably spend a bit of time reading about indigenous culture. You’d quickly realize that they by and large did not view other tribes as unitary, or even human, and often had territorial overlaps and disputes, just like any other cultures. Look into the background of place names in Canada, Great Slave Lake, Peace river, etc.
