As we move towards Canada's 150th birthday (2017) and its subsequent
celebration, it is important to look back and consider the circumstances
surrounding that birth. While carving out its own space, Canada violently
displaced and dispossessed Indigenous peoples of Turtle Island. One of the
ways this displacement and dispossession was (and continues to be) enacted
is through the cartographic eye of the colonizer. Thinking about the
performative act of cartography and how it has helped shape the settler
state Canada, this symposium inquires what performance and indigenous forms
of mapping can contribute to embodied or other alternative forms of mapping.
