Our team is growing again! Welcome our new Volunteer Coordinator, Makayla Rawlins 🎉🎉🎉

Makayla is a museum nerd and a Payómkawichum (Luiseño) woman who is very passionate about embracing all aspects of her identity. Her academic background is in preserving cultural heritage and advocating for Indigenous voices within institutional spaces.

Makayla was raised and currently resides on her ancestral land in Southern California. She is an alumna from UC Santa Barbara and has her BA in Art History and Anthropology with a minor in American Indian and Indigenous Studies. She is passionate about preserving cultural knowledge for future generations. For this reason, she felt drawn to work with Native Land Digital as its mission is to amplify Indigenous voices through making knowledge about Indigenous peoples and lands accessible to all!

She has worked with Santa Barbara California Student Opportunity and Access Program (Cal-SOAP) as a Peer Advisor at local schools, and the Smithsonian National Museum of the American Indian (NMAI) as a Museum Technician in their Collections Management department.

We are most excited to activate the volunteer component of Native Land Digital!

Thanks for sharing the NLD vision with us Makayla!

Naturally, this is a common question we have received over the years since the map began.

"Why is Africa blank?"

We have always been committed to expanding the map throughout other global territories, including Africa and all regions of our shared Indigenous lands, however, we are a small team and are mindful to slow down and make sure that we are doing things correctly.

Last year, we hired a dedicated Research Director to help facilitate our growth with a specific focus on Central and South America. This was the strategy we shared with the major organizations that fund our project and we were committed to maintaining the plan accordingly.

As we now turn our focused attention on Africa - we are mindful it's a delicate process to define Indigenous territories accurately and in an understanding of what "Indigenous" means in the diverse conceptions around the world.

We are dedicated to accuracy to the best of our ability.

So here we go!

As you start to see mapping developments into Africa, know that the map is always a work in progress. If you see errors, we welcome emails of support with resources that will help us research and correct as needed.

If you currently have resources available - such as maps, nation contacts, books or links (not wiki) please email us your sources to help steer our research process!

Thank you for your support as we continued to expand the map into new territories.

More will follow!

This is the disclaimer every time the website is opened. Every time.

We cannot know everything about every territory.

We do our best with our small Indigenous led team, however, as the map says, please just email us if you see an area that needs edits or is not yet mapped.

We’re here to listen, research and make edits. We are committed to the evolution of our work and connect with the importance of slow and methodical intention. Being called out for erasure, as an Indigenous organization hits us hard and while we understand how erasure feels, we also ask for grace and decolonized mindsets that don’t expect perfectionism and urgency.

When you see errors, please email us.

If an area is not yet mapped, please email us.

We are working on expansion into all areas of our shared globe, and this takes time.

Please email contact@native-land.ca

Much love and gratitude for your support.
