Defining mapping

    • McGill’s lawyer argued that mapping means making a map with points or zones where different archaeological techniques should be applied to find human remains.
    • When all the zones were drawn, the panel could be disbanded because the mapping was over.
    • This interpretation distorts and extensively simplifies the process of mapping the unmarked graves of children.
    • It reduces mapping to a mere checklist item, detached from the ever-changing reality on the ground.
    • While this initial mapping serves as a starting point, the panel should remain involved as the map evolves.

Colonial vs. decolonial perspectives

    • Observing the courtroom proceedings, I was struck by the enduring presence of colonial assumptions about cartography.
    • Indigenous communities continue having to advocate for and defend their cartographic methods in order to uphold their connections and duties to the land.
    • A truly decolonial mapping project centres and respects Indigenous geographical knowledge and protocols, and includes involvement of Indigenous communities in the process.
