 United States - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The United States does not have an official language at federal level; nevertheless, English is the first and/or only language of the overwhelming majority of the population and serves as the de facto language: English is the language used for legislation, regulations, executive orders, treaties, federal court rulings, and all other official pronouncements.
The structure of the United States was profoundly changed in 1788, however, when the states replaced the Articles of Confederation with the United States Constitution ; often sources use the date each of the original thirteen states adopted the Constitution as the date that state "entered the Union" (became part of the United States).
The United States also holds several other territories, districts and possessions, notably the federal district of the District of Columbia, which is the nation's capital, and several overseas insular areas, the most significant of which are Puerto Rico, American Samoa, Guam, Northern Mariana Islands, and the United States Virgin Islands.

 Border Crossing Rights Between The United States and Canada For Aboriginal People
Within the United States there has been some movement for a comprehensive Indian Border Act to address numerous issues regarding both the United States/Canadian border and the United States/Mexican border.
Instead, it was the informal practice of both Canada and the United States for many years to allow aboriginal people free border crossing, and not to collect custom duties from them.
In the Treaty of Ghent in 1815 (after the war of 1812), Britain and the United States promised to restore the rights of the Indian Nations that had existed before the war.

We cater to many Canadian and United States naturalist and wildlife organizations as well as to the private individual.
