[UNF-DHI] Indigenous Cartography and Cartography of the Indigenous

[McLeland, Courtenay]

This upcoming online presentation from the University of Miami Libraries may be of interest to DHI affiliates.


Join Timothy Norris and Arthur Dunkelman as they incorporate thinking in the disciplines of geography, history, anthropology, and the history of science to explore the intersection of map making and Indigeneity through ancestral, colonial, anti-colonial, and de-colonial lenses.

"More Indigenous territory has been claimed by maps than by guns." -Bernard Nietschmann, 1995*

Whether true or not, this statement underlines the importance of understanding how cartographic practices and performances form a part of the historical and contemporary Indigenous experience. Inquiry will focus on how maps are used as tools to claim power, territory, sovereignty, and identity, and how they are leveraged for conservation and natural resource management on Indigenous territory.

The experience from a recently taught course at the University of Miami will serve as a guide for this conversation. The geographic scope will be global with an emphasis on the Americas.

The program will be followed by an audience question and answer session.
