The Aboriginal Mapping Network (AMN) is a cooperative website that supports aboriginal and indigenous peoples facing similar issues such as land claims, treaty negotiations and resource development. Common tools, such as traditional use studies, GIS mapping and other information systems are used in a collaborative manner, benefiting users of the AMN.
The updates to A New Trail: Fundraising for Cultural Research and Land Use and Occupancy Studies are complete. More information here.
Check out the Discussion Forum. There's a Correspondence section for you to introduce yourself, describe your work, and connect with other AMN users. It is a great collaborative tool to receive and provide help with other users within the network.
Your Input:
We would appreciate hearing what you think of the new AMN website. Please send comments and suggestions to: info@nativemaps.org. We are also recruiting authors to add more content to the site. If you would like to contribute, please drop us a note.
Ecotrust Canada is collaborating with the Haida and Lil’wat Nations to produce a new referrals mapping tool on the AMN that will strengthen First Nation community response to Crown Land Referrals and support First Nation decision making with regard to land and resource planning. This project is partially funded by GeoConnections. Users of the website will be able to:
protect culturally sensitive data from being shared with external organizations;
allow a variety of decision makers to use current maps, data, and graphs of local geographic knowledge; and
allow elders and archaeologists to add new cultural information.
Please respond to the poll on the left-hand panel concerning this issue. Your feedback is valued as it will help us find out not only how many people are interested in using the application, but also how many have the capability to do so.
