Conclusion

Colonial spatiality has been legitimized through a long, systemic process that has involved the dismissal and attempted erasure of Indigenous knowledges, practices, and languages. We have used this module to highlight several examples of counter-mapping as a collaborative practice that simultaneously exposes and empowers, encodes and recodes, enchants and disenchants. We encourage you to view further examples of counter-mapping, re-mapping, un-mapping, and place re-naming projects listed at the end of the bibliography, and keep them in mind as we move forward into the final modules, which are oriented toward community, care, and reparatory practice.
