Indigenous Peoples Atlas of Canada Open House
January 26 at 1:00 pm - 3:00 pm
An enormous, 25-by-35-foot, Indigenous territorial map of what we call Canada will be on display in the University Centre Ballroom (UNC 200) on January 26 from 1 to 3 pm to help UBC Okanagan students, faculty and staff 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” (Indigenous Peoples Atlas of Canada, 2023) 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 from the campus community are welcome, and no registration is required.
