This research guide provides direction for finding maps and mapping resources created from Indigenous perspectives as well as other maps relevant to research on Aboriginal topics.
"This map is designed to illustrate the rich diversity of the First Nations Peoples of British Columbia.
A variety of sources have been used as guides, including the Union of British Columbia Indian Chiefs June 1993 map entitled 'Sovereign Indigenous Nations Territorial Boundaries', and the map entitled 'Traditional Territories of British Columbia First Nations as set out by Statements of Intent accepted by the B.C. Treaty Commission'.
The boundaries between territories are deliberately shown as blending into one another, in recognition of the complex territorial relationships involved."
