Abstract
RÉSUMÉ:Cette étude évalue une approche particulière de la cartographie numérique, la cybercartographie, en tant qu’outil d’autodétermination autochtone. L’étude, réalisée auprès des Premières Nations du Canada, s’appuie sur les principes autochtones de propriété, de contrôle, d’accès et de possession pour reconnaitre les moyens précis par lesquels la cybercartographie peut aborder certains aspects de l’autodétermination. Les résultats montrent que les exigences en matière d’applications cybercartographiques sont propres à chaque communauté, et que ces applications peuvent faciliter l’autodétermination quand les communautés participent activement à la sélection de la technologie pendant le processus de recherche. L’étude de cas présentée ici révèle que la cybercartographie, et la cartographie numérique en général, peuvent véhiculer d’importants éléments culturels autochtones et servir à rehausser les épisodes éducatifs pendant lesquels se transmettent les connaissances entre les générations.ABSTRACT:This study evaluates a digital mapping approach called cybercartography for facilitating Indigenous self-determination. Set in the context of First Nations in Canada, this study applies Indigenous principles of ownership, control, access, and possession as a framework for identifying specific ways in which cybercartography may address aspects of self-determination. It found that the requirements of a cybercartographic application are community-specific and that these applications have the ability to facilitate self-determination when communities are engaged in technology selection throughout the research process. The case study presented here reveals that cybercartography, and digital mapping technology in general, has the potential for communicating important cultural elements of Indigenous communities and for serving as a mechanism to enhance education opportunities that connect knowledge across generations.
期刊介绍:
Cartographica is dedicated to publishing articles on all aspects of cartographic and geovisualization research while maintaining its tradition of publishing material on cartographic thought, the history of cartography, and cartography and society. Cartographica also plans to consolidate its trend towards publishing research contributions that focus primarily on geographic information. Each volume of Cartographica is comprised of four issues: two or three regular issues and one or two single-topic monographs. These special monograph issues, accommodating book-length manuscripts, provide an extensive look at one particular area of cartography.
