Description

Ever since a native American prepared a paper “charte” of the lower Colorado River for the Spaniard Hernando de Alarcon in 1540| native Americans have been making maps in the course of encounters with whites (the most recent maps often support land claims). This book charts the history of these cartographic encounters| examining native maps and mapmaking from the earliest contacts onward.
