Description

Although they are often rendered in forms unfamiliar to Western eyes, maps have existed in most cultures.

In this text contributors from a variety of disciplines collaborate to describe and address the significance of traditional cartographies.

Whether painted on rock walls in South Africa, chanted in a Melanesian ritual, or fashioned from palm fronds and shells in the Marshall Islands, all indigenous maps share a crucial role in representing and codifying the spatial knowledge of their various cultures.
