From my counter mapping series where I explore ways that I, as a Métis artist, can map my own imagery overtop of cartographic representations of land - This piece has beadwork over a Dent’s Canadian School Atlas page on economic resources from a 1950’s edition. The unframed page is sewn to a linen backing and beaded with #10 beads. Size - 10.5 x 8.25 inches.

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.
