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.
