Part of my counter mapping series - beadwork on a replica of an ad promoting Athabasca Landing (now Athabasca, Alberta) as a town of ‘wonderful opportunities’. The word Athabasca is Cree and indicates a place where there are many grasses and reeds.

(Unframed page from a Canadian history book sewn onto a linen backdrop and beaded with #10 beads)

Counter mapping is a form of map-making or charting of stories, culture, and consists of making marks of resistance on top of a western representation of land, such as a map. It is a challenge against western ideas of geography, borders, boundaries, possession, economic, social and cultural relations on the land where indigenous communities live.
