What a world opened up for me! It was eye-opening to delve into the complexities of maps: It isn’t always what is on the map that is important; often it’s what isn’t on the map. And more importantly, it’s important to pay attention to who created the map and how that affected what they chose to include and how they chose to label and name places. Evidence of white supremacy and erasure of native peoples was clear from the earliest European maps of Turtle Island.
