The Canadian Geographic Indigenous Peoples of Canada Atlas “re-maps” and “de-maps” (Indigenous Peoples Atlas of Canada, 2023) colonial versions of traditional Indigenous territories to decolonize maps and mapping, which provides an opportunity to view the geography of what we call Canada from the perspectives of Indigenous Peoples.
