It comments on (1) intersections between art and cartography, including reflections on how a photograph can be read like a map (2) reflexive aspects of chapter and mapping and (3) the working distinction between implicit and explicit approaches to cartography. In addition, it contributes to the expansion of the concept of ‘epi map’ (Wood and Fels, 2008) by providing an example of the knowledge generating relationship between ‘text’ and ‘map’.

It provides a brief summary of ethical issues and processes shaping the Residential Schools Land Memory Mapping Project, with the intention of elaborating in future work, and reflects a preference for ethics of care approaches to research.

Development of such an atlas requires a transdisciplinary team to contend with complexity in subject matter, technologies, and project dynamics. Technologies required are potentially as much an obstacle to some potential participants as they may be necessary to the fulfilment of a project's outreach and communication goals. This paper describes the Cybercartographic Atlas of the Lake Huron Treaty Relationship Process, the open source atlas toolkit used to implement it, and features of the toolkit that are intended to encourage transdisciplinary participation. The discussion explicitly addresses issues related to the iterative processes, at multiple scales, required to develop atlas projects within an academic research setting while u...

While these trends are discussed by Kerski in the context of the proliferating significance of geography in teaching and education, they also provide a useful lens for considering the increasing ubiquity of critical approaches to cartography both in general and in the context of teaching and education, where mapping can include participatory collaborations with individuals from a variety of knowledge communities and extend to the mapping of experiences, emotions, and Indigenous perspectives. In this paper, we consider these trends and related ideas such as Kerski’s “geoliteracy” and metaliteracy in light of some relatively current examples and in light of the evolution of research and teaching linked with a series of interrelated map-based projects and courses t...

It considers the nature and significance of Cybercartography as a conceptual and applied framework for the construction of cybercartographic atlases, and as a member of the broader practice and theory of the critical cartography clan. Cybercartography is itself a family comprised of a growing number of relationships along at least four dimensions: technological, content, economic, and conceptual; yet just as no two critical cartographers are exactly alike, ‘cybercartographers’ differ in their approaches to Cybercartography. Key concepts are discussed, including performativity and emergence; and the relationship between the theoretical and practical dimensions of Cybercartography and critical cartography is considered.

It also makes use of Bourdieu's reflexive method of presentation in order to track the project's iterative development since the emergence of the Residential Schools Map Module in the cybercartographic Lake Huron Treaty Atlas (LHTA) in 2011 and earlier relevant work. While there is much to discuss when it comes to describing and explaining the relationship between the Residential Schools legacy and the broader historical geographical context reflected in the LHTA, including ‘treaty history’, this chapter focuses mostly on the iterative development of the Residential Schools component of the LHTA in order to provide a better understanding of historical and methodological foundations of the RSLMMP.

Building on previous work in Cybercartography, the RSLMMP has further contributed to the integration of research and education and the emergence of new research and education relationships. Viewing the atlas as a project output comprised of iterative processes along multiple dimensions allows us to appreciate limitations as challenges for further iterations, including new related projects and ongoing volunteer work with students. In addition to participating in the national response to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada’s Calls to Action, this project – including the atlas – provides a model for a unique blend of teaching and research and the basis for further and new collaborations with a variety of different partners, including Residen...

In addition, it comments on the value of Cybercartography to enable the emergent and reflexive approach to intercultural reconciliation that began with initial work on the Lake Huron Treaty Atlas with the motto ‘Bridging Awareness to Bridge Relationships’ ( Pyne, 2013 ). The chapter adopts the reflexive style of Bourdieu in its examination of the backgrounds and perspectives of the three originating actors in the emergence of this network: myself as a cybercartographer and member of GCRC at Carleton University in Ottawa, Canada; Tilly Laskey as an independent scholar specializing in Native art and culture and a curator at the Maine Historical Society, Portland, USA; and Federica Burini, Associate Pro...

In order to begin to understand the Anishinabe approach to hunting, it helps to have a more general understanding of the traditional Anishinabe worldview, where the reference to " traditional " in traditional knowledge does not necessarily refer to " old " and unchanging. As Lawrence Barsh reminds us, " what is 'traditional' about traditional knowledge is not its antiquity, but the way in which it is acquired and used " (UNEP 1999, 74). At the same time, there are certain core dimensions of knowledge that run like threads through the generations, transmitted through storytelling, song and dance. Although there are many cultural differences between indigenous peoples worldwide, most—if not all—traditional indigenous worldviews express a broad view of community that involves reciprocal relationships of care between family members: " It is the story of all life that is holy and is good to tell, and of us two-leggeds sharing in it with the four-leggeds and the wings of the air and all green things; for these are children of one mother and their father is one spirit " (Black Elk, quoted in UNEP, 1999, 73). Traditional indigenous peoples interpret the world from a holistic and integrated perspective of knowledge that combines an epistemological perspective with a moral perspective. The epistemological perspective sees all of creation—humans (past, present, and future), animals, fish, birds, insects, plants, the water, the land, the air, the trees, the sky, the clouds, the rain, the mountains and the rocks—as belonging to the same family in relationships with one another. The moral perspective sees all family relationships in terms of responsibility and reciprocity: giving and taking. In order to maintain good family relationships between all members it is necessary for all interactions to reflect reciprocity. Taking too much or giving too much destroys the balance that must exist in the family. A central bond that ties the family members together in the family relationship, including ancestors, living humans, future generations, animals, fish, birds and insects is spirit. This fundamental belief contributes to both the moral and the epistemological perspectives. The belief that life exists in various dimensions and forms—not only the physical, but the mental, emotional and spiritual as well—allows Native people to appreciate the connections between all family members and to know about the characteristic ways that each member contributes to the family. In this context, careful perception and attention to the personal characteristics of other family members is a required cognitive skill. It is from this perspective that the Anishinabe philosophy of hunting emerges. According to this integrated perspective, it is understood that certain animals participate in the family relationship by giving themselves for the sustenance of human family members. The human family members respond by accepting these gifts, as we would expect anyone to accept a gift from her kin: with gratitude and respect. Both of these attitudes are evident in careful harvesting practices, which require knowledge of animal characteristics and patterns, and of how much and when to harvest so as not to take too much or at the wrong time. A significant aspect of the Anishinabe concept of hunting is learning how to connect with the other creatures of existence through experience. In this regard, in their description of the old days, Pierotti and Wildcat recall how Native people " understood themselves as predators, part of the world of prey, and connected to prey in a profound experiential sense " (UNEP, 1999, 195). At the same time, Native people recognized that the " lives of human beings…often depended on taking the life of the animal, and [that] the act of giving up its life so that humans could survive was … a profound sacrifice for the animal " (UNEP, 1999, 195). In recognition of this sacrifice, and in gratitude, it is the traditional way to
