After reading the Marker’s (2006) paper this week, I was thinking about how a map interface might respect Indigenous ties to place more than a plain, old Western index. After a few searches, I came across this paper by a prof at the University of Alberta:
Shiri, A., Borys, C., & Huang, C. (2019). Mapping Canada’s Indigenous Digital Collections. Proceedings of the Annual Conference of CAIS / Actes Du congrès Annuel De l’ACSI. https://doi.org/10.29173/cais1060
The objective of this paper is to report on a comprehensive study to examine, identify, and map Canada’s Indigenous digital collections available on the web in order to provide a metadata-rich, map-based interface that supports unified, organized, and systematic access to the Indigenous digital collections.
Below is a prototype of the mapping interface Shiri et al. (2019, p.7) propose to develop:
