From Members of the collective
It means a lot to us that the Indigenous Mapping Collective exists and that we could join it – that there is a community of support for our projects. We are not GIS gurus or developers. We are Indigenous people trying to share our story.
It was great attending the workshop and learning how others have used maps for different purposes and I watched many of the beginners tutorials – after the workshop was over I was able to use Google Earth Pro to make videos and use all of these other neat features I didn’t know about before.
The opportunity to network and work alongside others who are doing similar work is so valuable. The great diversity in Indigenous communities and territories is reflected in the many stories and methods that grow from specific geographic regions and histories.
PRICING
The Indigenous Mapping Collective is FREE for all Indigenous Nations, organizations, and peoples globally. Our top priority is to ensure Indigenous peoples have access to the tools and knowledge to be able to build capacity with mapping technologies. We also offer paid memberships which allows us to build more content, reach out to new partners, and build capacity for even more people.
