AbstractPutting Wintu Indian Tribe of California on the MapTrack: Tribal/Indigenous GIS Programs Author Various scholars, including ethnographers, linguists, and archaeologists, have published maps and descriptions of the Indian tribes in California. C. Hart Merriam and Alfred Kroeber disagreed about the location of the northern boundary of the Wintu. Using contemporary tools and data sets, the historic disagreement was re-examined and the analysis showed there is still much to be learned from the data. Anne McTavish will discuss the methodology used to examine and compare existing historic maps and create new layers from text. The research was done as part of her Geography MA thesis at San Francisco State University.
