Walk With Us Project

Walk With Us Mission

Our goals are to:

1) Make as many First Nations communities as we can visible on Google Maps by teaching students how to take 360' pictures and upload as Street View; and

2) Help students create virtual tours of these communities for storytelling. The students are the historians by interviewing Elders and teaching others about where they live in an immersive and engaging way.

Walk With Us works with community members, their Housing Department and the Google Maps team to make edits to roads and points of interest in communities. This ensures an up-to-date presence on Google Maps!

Where We've Been

Where We'll Go

As we grow and build relationships with more communities, Walk With Us can go virtually anywhere. Let's update Street View coverage in northern and rural communities together, and tell our unique stories.

Where in the world are we and when?
