Mapping in Indigenous Contexts

On October 27th the CCA hosted an online event titled “Mapping in Indigenous Contexts” where we highlighted some contemporary Indigenous cartography, GIS, and remote sensing projects in Canada (Presentation recordings have been linked on this page).

We hope that this will be the first of many short presentation series where cartographers come together to discuss various mapping related topics.
