The Concept Of Indigenous GIS
--
Reading a paper (alturl.com/8wte5), they used the specific term ‘Indigenous GIS’ – and I found this intriguing!
As I read it, spatial data collection and analysis was done with a focus on how a tribe or social group might ‘see’ the data, including spatiotemporal....
I look forward to finding out more about what others are working on! – so PLEASE feel free to share any examples that you might have…

[this post is NOT about geopolitics, rather the excellent use of multiple maps to illustrate the story / situation… so no text from the article itself...]

Hello!

Je profite de ce vendredi pour vous conseiller le livre "jeux blanc" (ou "Indian horse") à lire absolument si l'un ou plusieurs des thèmes suivants vous parle - et à lire urgemment dans le cas inverse 😇 : #firstnation, #racisme, surmonter ses traumas, #hockey , #canada.

Ce livre combine (entre autres) 2 themes qui me touchent, improbablement réunis : la lutte des indiens d'Amérique pour survivre et garder un lien avec leurs racines (& la santé mentale) et le hockey 🏒

Ce sport est magnifiquement décrit, à travers le plaisir du jeux individuel et surtout à travers celui du jeux collectif...une vision réaliste et humaniste du sport, loin de la vision élitiste que nous vendent les médias.

Ps: Même si globalement j'ai trouvé beaucoup de force dans ce livre le récit est parfois dur. Si vous souhaitez éviter les sujets en liens avec les violences faites aux enfants, je vous déconseille ce livre.

Le livre a été adapté en film par Clint Eastwood. Je fais durer le plaisir de l'attente, mais je vous en direz plus lorsque je l'aurais vu.

Bonne le lecture et surtout bon weekend un peu à l'avance !

Healing Fund Provides up to $70,000 to Survivors of Forced and Coerced Sterilization

"it’s estimated that at least 15,000 Indigenous women and girls were pressured, coerced or forced to undergo tubal ligation since the 1890s, although better data is needed because many Indigenous people who have experienced forced sterilization are unaware they have been a victim of systemic racism."

My personal #books #ReadingGoal this year is to find & read every book that Richard Wagamese wrote. I have read 3 of his books so far & loved them. He's one of my fave #Indigenous authors in #Canada.

Richard Wagamese was one of Canada’s foremost #IndigenousAuthors & esteemed public speaker & #storyteller. A professional writer since 1979, he was a newspaper columnist & reporter, radio & television broadcaster & producer, documentary producer & author of 14 titles from various #Canadian publishers.

He was a success in every genre of writing he tried. An #Ojibway from the #Wabaseemoong #FirstNation in Northwestern #Ontario, he became the first #NativeCanadian to win a National Newspaper Award for Column Writing in 1991. He won the Alberta Writers Guild Best Novel Award for his debut novel, Keeper’n Me in 1994 & the Canadian Authors Association Award for Fiction for his third novel Dream Wheels, in 2007. One Native Life was one of The Globe & Mail’s 100 Best Books of 2008 & One Story, One Song was awarded the George Ryga Award for Social Awareness in Literature in 2011.

Indian Horse, the feature film, is based on his book of the same title.

If you haven't read any of his books yet, I highly recommend finding them at your local library 👍📚
