The Indigenous Mapping Workshop is the largest international geospatial conference for Indigenous governing bodies and communities on Indigenous-led geospatial research. The Indigenous Mapping Workshop is an annual 4-day event that provides geospatial training and opportunities for Indigenous leadership, agencies, and communities. Participants learn geospatial tools and methods that they can use to collect, host, visualize, share, and publish community-generated spatial data. Sessions explore current and relevant themes, such as traditional knowledge use and use studies, environmental monitoring, land use planning, negotiations, health, and inter-generational knowledge transfer. Work from the ACKNOWL-EJ's network's Mapping Back initiative will be presented and the methodologies developed shared. For more information, see: https://www.indigenousmaps.com/
