Let's look at some maps together! Margaret Pearce is a print cartographer, a Rockland resident, and a Citizen Potawatomi tribal member. Regarding maps, she says: “I think of cartography as a form of writing. Approaching it this way helps me make maps about the cultural and political realities of Indigenous peoples' lives.” In this presentation, Margaret will show examples of her work and talk about the creative and collaborative processes behind them.Margaret Wickens Pearce is a cartographer creating maps that foreground Indigenous Peoples’ understanding of land and place. Pearce pushes the boundaries of cartography beyond two-dimensional depictions of static and defined spaces. She draws on a wide range of archival materials and long-term collaborations with Indigenous communities to resurface their history, knowledge, and presence throughout North America. She is a 2025 MacArthur Fellow.
