Indigenous maps, cosmology, and spatial recognition of the North American Indian : with special reference to the Ojibway around Lake Superior in Cosmology, epistemology and the history of geography.

Indigenous maps, cosmology, and spatial recognition of the North American Indian : with special reference to the Ojibway around Lake Superior in Cosmology, epistemology and the history of geography.
To seek a new horizon of studying the indigenous way of cartographic representation in the native societies of the American Indians, integrated knowledge on the so-called Indian maps, of cartography and geography, as well as ethnohistory
and anthropology, are needed. By this way we may understand these native dogmas and weltbild or cosmogony in their own spatial recognition and its representation with native materials or their own means of drawing. - (SGA)

This paper argues that Native American mapping belongs in the cartographic record of the Encounter, and that European maps of the period can be viewed as statements of territorial appropriation, cultural reproduction, or as devices by which a Native
American presence could be silenced.

Cartographic technique ; Cartography ; History of cartography ; Latin America ; Old map ; Topography
The 1:1 million Map of Hispanic America, compiled at the American Geographical Society’s New York headquarters between the First and Second World Wars, has been seen as a landmark in twentieth-century cartography. In this essay the AA. re-evaluate
the Hispanic Map as a technical and scholarly project and re-assess its wider significance for the history of twentieth-century topographic mapping in the light of the cultural and political factors that shaped its development. When finally completed in 1945
, the Hispanic Map was rightly judged an unsurpassed scientific achievement and a major work of art. But it was already out of date, superseded by newer cartographic technologies, particularly aerial survey and reconnaissance, that had removed the need
for the kind of meticulous and painstaking compilation that the Hispanic Map exemplified.
