Abstract

Shift - Indian Country's Changing Landscape
Track: Tribal/Indigenous GIS Programs
Authors: Wayne Marci

Shift, Indian Country’s Changing Landscape utilizes the Indian Affairs: Laws and Treaties archive by Charles K. Jappler; updated with geo-location data, and geo-referenced maps created by Dan G. Cole for the Handbook of North American Indians. Shift positions all Indigenous land loss, battles, and treaties from 1775-1923, in what is now the contiguous United States. The interactive story-map is comprised of the uses of ArcGIS, mapbox.js, TileMill, and front-end web-development. www.shift.land
