"Putting the Wintu Indian Tribe of California on the Map"

Anne McTavish

Various scholars, including ethnographers, linguists, and archaeologists, have published maps and descriptions of the Indian tribes in California.  However, if the historic data are re-examined using contemporary tools and data sets, there is still much to be learned. Anne McTavish will compare a variety of maps related to the Winnemem Wintu boundaries researched as part of her MA thesis at San Francisco State University.

BACKGROUND:

Indigenous Mapping Network meetings at UC-Berkeley convene mapping practitioners, indigenous community members, indigenous rights organizations, researchers, and technology professionals to discuss current issues in indigenous mapping.

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.
