*Theorizing Indigital Geographic Information Networks*
*Mark Palmer *
In this article, I argue that in North America, 500 years of
cartographic encounters and translations have transformed Indigenous
map-making and geospatial technology processes into an amalgam of
knowledge systems, science, and technology. To do this I first review
the processes of map-making that have been shaped by continual
cartographic encounters, exchanges, and translations between American
Indians and Euro-Americans. Dichotomies between Indigenous–traditional
and Western–scientific are prevalent within the literature, but the
boundaries between geographic knowledge systems have always been fuzzy
and crossable. This review includes some processes strongly shaped by
Indigenous communities, such as ethnocartography and counter-mapping in
Alaska and Canada, and GIS processes controlled more by government
institutions in the lower 48 US states. Second, I introduce the tenets
of a new model – indigital geographic information networks (iGIN) – to
describe the heterogeneous processes of encounters, exchanges, and
translations merging Indigenous, scientific, and digital technologies
into inclusive forms of technoscience. Third, I demonstrate iGIN
processes through exploratory research at the university level, using
Kiowa-language narratives and network GIS to create a new “third”
construct. Finally, following brief concluding remarks, I propose future
research directions.

*Mapping Indigenous Perspectives in the Making of the Cybercartographic
Atlas of the Lake Huron Treaty Relationship Process: A Performative
Approach in a Reconciliation Context*
Stephanie Pyne, D.R. Fraser Taylor
This article discusses a two-pronged approach to designing and
developing an online, interactive multimedia – cybercartographic – atlas
that combines critical academic perspectives with Anishinaabe approaches
to understanding in order to “tell the story” of the Robinson Huron
Treaty process in a way intended to enhance awareness of Anishinaabe
perspectives and expose the epistemological and ontological roots of
colonialism. Building on the work that created the Treaties Module of
the Living Cybercartographic Atlas of Indigenous Perspectives and
Knowledge, this atlas project continues to reflect the comprehensiveness
and multidimensionality of Robinson Huron Treaty–based relationship
processes. The article focuses on some of the performative aspects of
this atlas project, such as iterative processes and spatializing
history, that contribute to its success in reflecting Anishinaabe
perspectives and providing the basis for a richer understanding of the
treaty process.

*Mapping Dreams/Dreaming Maps: Bridging Indigenous and Western
Geographical Knowledge*
Irène Hirt
Dreams and dreaming practices are integrated into knowledge-building
processes in many indigenous societies, and may therefore represent a
source of geographical and cartographic information. This article
addresses the incorporation of these practices into collaborative and
cross-cultural research methods, especially in the framework of
participatory mapping projects conducted with Indigenous communities or
organizations. The author argues that dreams and dreaming practices
enable the consideration of Indigenous territorial dimensions – such as
the sacred and the spiritual, as well as the presence of non-human
actors – that are more difficult to grasp through the social sciences or
through modern Western mapping methodologies. In addition, this approach
invites geographers and cartographers to adopt a culturally decentred
concept of the notions of territory, mapping, and participation that
goes beyond the positivist premises of Western science and its research
methodologies. This text draws from a Mapuche counter-mapping and
participatory mapping experience that took place in southern Chile
between 2004 and 2006, in which the author took part as a cartographer.

*Deconstructing the Conservancy Map: Hxaro, N!ore, and Rhizomes in the
Kalahari*
Saskia Vermeylen, Gemma Davies, Dan van der Horst
To stand a chance of reclaiming their pre-colonial rights, indigenous
peoples often have to deploy the tools and logic of the colonial state.
Through a case study of community conservancy in Namibia, we demonstrate
that the same holds for the practice of participatory mapping. We engage
with J.B. Harley's deconstruction of maps and use our ethnographic data
to reveal the silences and lies inherent in the rigid cartographic
representations of conservancy maps. The indigenous peoples in our case
study are the San, who have been marginalized and displaced from their
land. We highlight how these people, once perceived by the colonialists
as “rootless,” do have strong relational connections across the
landscape. We argue that the practice of counter-mapping, along with its
critique, is incomplete without full attention to the silences of the
map and the relational rhizomes (across boundaries) of the peoples involved.
