Indigenous Peoples Atlas of Canada: Open House
May 7 at 10:00 am - 12:00 pm
An enormous, 25-by-35-foot, Indigenous territorial map of what we call Canada will be on display in the Ballroom (UNC 200) on May 7 from 10:00am until 12:00pm for UBC Okanagan students, faculty, and staff to view in order 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” (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 are welcome and no registration is required.
