Indigenous Atlas Open House 2024

An enormous, 25-by-35-foot, Indigenous territorial map of what we call Canada will be on display in the Ballroom (UNC 200) on August 7, 2024, from 1 to 3 pm for UBC Okanagan students, faculty, staff and the greater community to further their learning about the traditional territories of Indigenous Peoples and relevant historical events.

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

All are welcome and no registration is required.
