In this session we’ll focus on the technical skills and best practices of mapping Indigenous knowledge and traditional land use with Google Earth using the Direct-to-Digital method. We’ll introduce you to Google Earth and cover the basics of how to create a simple 3D map with all the feature types – points, lines, and polygons – for mapping Indigenous knowledge and traditional land use. You’ll learn how to plan your interview, what questions you might ask, what equipment you’ll need to bring and more.
