Pre-Conference Tours June 2, 2010
June 3 - 4, 2010
Native American / Indigenous / Aboriginal / tribal attendees and supporters of mapping efforts on aboriginal territories welcome. Let's learn, share, and grow together - find new ways of using mapping tools to solve sovereignty, environmental, and cultural issues.
We aim to identify training and opportunities for indigenous people who may have little experience with modern mapping technologies. Efforts also are made to keep updated on global events: the UN, governments, academics, and the use of geospatial technology as well as traditional "mapping" technologies.

Hosted By
Indigenous Mapping Network
Indigenous Mapping Network (IMN) is a multi-tribal grassroots talking circle that convenes mapping practitioners, indigenous community members, indigenous rights organizations, researchers, and technology professionals to discuss current issues in indigenous/tribal/Native American/Alaska Native/Maori/First Nations peoples mapping.
Mostly, our
meetings are intended to create a platform for supporting indigenous
mapping collaborations and linking communities with emerging
technologies.
Mapping approaches can include thought-maps, performance, materials, as well as GIS, web, and mobile phone technologies. Whatever is needed to tell our story.
