In this paper, we describe and reflect upon our journey through Indigenous online mapping in Canada. This journey has been planned according to an academic goal: assessing the potential of online cartography for decolonial purposes. To reach this goal, we have followed methodological directions provided by Indigenous scholar Linda Tuhiwai Smith to review 18 Indigenous web‐mapping sites across Canada. Supported by a series of ten interviews, this content analysis enabled us to sketch some of the contours of contemporary Indigenous cartography. On one hand, Indigenous communities largely control the data that are shared on these websites. They also partially control the way these data are represented through the mobilization of digital storytelling technologies that are better aligned with Indigenous ways of envisioning relationships to places than conventional maps. On the other hand, they do not have much control over the technological aspects of these projects, for which they remain heavily dependent on non‐Indigenous partners. Throughout this journey, we noticed that women's voices remained marginal in most of these mapping projects, but we also identified evidence supporting the idea that these voices are starting to play a vital role in the on‐going effort of decolonizing mapping processes.

在线地图在多大程度上可以殖民化？加拿大土著制图之旅

在本文中，我们描述并反思了我们在加拿大进行的本地在线地图绘制过程。这项旅程是根据学术目标进行计划的：评估用于殖民地目的的在线制图的潜力。为了实现这一目标，我们遵循了土著学者Linda Tuhiwai Smith提供的方法指导，回顾了加拿大的18个土著网络映射站点。在一系列十次访谈的支持下，这种内容分析使我们能够勾勒出当代土著制图的某些轮廓。一方面，土著社区在很大程度上控制了这些网站上共享的数据。他们还通过动员数字叙事技术来部分控制这些数据的表示方式，该技术比传统的地图更好地与设想与地点的关系的土著方式保持一致。另一方面，他们对这些项目的技术方面没有太多控制权，因此他们仍然严重依赖非土著合作伙伴。在整个旅程中，我们注意到在大多数测绘项目中，女性的声音仍然微不足道，但是我们也找到了证据支持这些声音在正在进行的非殖民化测绘过程中起着至关重要的作用的观点。
