| Native Land (https://native-land.ca/) is an interactive mapping tool that shows the location of indigenous cultures. I found it fascinating and very much a corrective to my understanding of the history of places encompassed by the United States and other political entities. Be sure to take a look at the Teacher's Guide, which includes this caveat: |  |
Maps potentially function as colonial artifacts and represent a very particular way of seeing the world – a way primarily concerned with ownership, exclusivity, and power relations.
As I said, Native Land gave me a lot to think about.
