I think this is so cool : First Peoples’ Map of BC. As someone who loves maps, I’ve been drawn to this ever since someone showed it to me a while back.
This map was created by the First People’s Cultural Council (www.fpcc.ca) which is a provincial Crown Corporation formed in 1990. Their goal is to help support BC First Nations in revitalizing their language, art and heritage.
When you delve into the map, the amount of information on language, arts and culture is almost overwhelming! There is just so much information. It’s quite incredible. The language map was started in 2005 by a linguist at the Museum of Anthropology in Vancouver. In 2008, the map was expanded into an online map and included interviews with fluent speaker of Indigenous BC languages. In 2019 the map was modernized and arts and heritage were also added.
