Okay, if you download the piece, you can see what Bates and Anna are saying. I really thought Eka's would be able to display hieroglyphics, but I guess not.
So the first group of statues are Minnesotan, what’s the second group? It still sounds Great Lakes adjacent but being from the West, the nuances are lost on me.
In order of appearance: First group is Berber-inspired, speaking like Minnesotans. Second group is Nubian-inspired, speaking like Wisconsinites. Third group is Egyptian-inspired, speaking (less noticeably) like Canadians. The dialect aspect came first, and all were Egyptian-inspired, originally. Differentiating them culture-wise came later, and the decision to make the Ushabti was very late.

If I had to guess, being a Great Lakes resident, either Michigan or Wisconsin

Wisconsin is what I was going for. You can be the judge of how accurate it is, since you're from the region.
