Counter Mapping for Treaty Education: Yellowhead Institute Treaty Map Demo

What to expect

Despite treaties being among the “highest laws of the land,” they remain deeply misunderstood, malinterpreted, and flattened through dominating Canadian narratives. Countermapping is one tool to resist static interpretations of treaty. How can Indigenous diplomacy, histories, and relationships be reflected on a map to disrupt damaging treaty narratives and recenter Indigenous perspectives on treaties?

Join Yellowhead Institute on November 5th at 3:30 PM for a demo on the treaty map and discussion on treaties, countermapping, and education.
