Tracing the Flow of Treaty Relations in the Salish Sea.

Abstract

Paper summary generated by OpenAI: This paper explores the intricate dynamics of treaty relations in the Salish Sea, focusing on the historical and contemporary implications for the Coast Salish peoples. Utilizing counter-mapping and decolonial mapping methodologies, the authors, Leah Fulton and Brian Thom, analyze how these practices can aid in land reclamation efforts and challenge dominant narratives in cartography. The findings highlight the importance of recognizing Indigenous perspectives in treaty discussions and the potential for mapping to serve as a tool for social justice and environmental stewardship in the region.
