Description
How do we talk about Indigenous knowledge in a non-Indigenous language, without losing the structure (and thus meaning) of that knowledge? How do retain situated meanings when we re-situate them elsewhere? Pearce explores these questions in the context of a three-year collaboration with Penobscot Cultural & Historic Preservation Department to map the traditional place names of Penobscot territory.
