Aboriginal peoples in Canada have been mapping aspects oftheir cultures for more than a generation. Indians, Inuit, Métis,non-status Indians and others have called their maps bydifferent names at various times and places: land use andoccupancy; land occupancy and use; traditional use; traditional land useand occupancy; current use; cultural sensitive areas; and so on. I use “landuse and occupancy mapping” in a generic sense to include all the above.The term refers to the collection of interview data about traditional useof resources and occupancy of lands by First Nation persons, and thepresentation of those data in map form. Think of it as the geography oforal tradition, or as the mapping of cultural and resource geography. (PDF contains 81 pages.)
