An inventory of mapping projects in connection with Aboriginal land and resource use in Canada : Royal Commission on Aboriginal Peoples, history workshop : February 26-28, 1993 / Lorraine F. Brooke. : Z1-1991/1-41-9E-PDF
“At this workshop one of the things we will be doing is taking a critical look at projects that have been undertaken in the area of land use mapping and the collection of indigenous environmental and ecological knowledge, and attempting an honest assessment of their contribution to "capturing" or "interpreting" for present and future generations, the knowledge, perspectives, concepts that make up Aboriginal peoples' histories. The following inventory was prepared to assist us in this task. Recent advancements in computer technology, in particular Geographic Information Systems (GIS) has spawned a whole new interest in land use mapping, and much attention is focusing on lands acquired by Aboriginal peoples through land claims agreements. Unfortunately, in many cases this has been "technology driven" and is not grounded in a complete understanding of the purpose or what is involved in land use and ecological knowledge mapping. While GIS is an incredibly useful tool, it cannot replace the fieldwork involved in collecting basic information and certainly cannot replace the personal dynamics, good and bad, which characterize the mapping process. It is these personal dynamics which can contribute to a better understanding of what is being revealed through the process of mapping”--p. 1-2.
