Geoweb: indigenous mapping of intergenerational knowledge

Abstract

Cette thèse examinent la transmission de connaissance intergénérationnelles et culturelles de la réserve des Cris habitant l'est de la Baie James. La technologie géospatiale et la connaissance des Cris sont explorées, avec une emphase sur le Géoweb. Un Géoweb divisé en deux, ancien et nouveau, est théorisé comme étant compatible avec les intérêts des Cris au niveau de l'analyse du paysage. L'échelle de connaissances locale et traditionnelle ressort comme une pièce primordiale pour l'analyse de la création et de la transmission des connaissances hybrides sur le Géoweb. L'hypothèse supporte que le mème est un mécanisme viable et valable (réplication) pour transmettre les connaissances intergénérationnelles autochtones sur le Géoweb. L'affirmation que le Géoweb sera l'outil principal pour la protection et la réplication de mèmes de lieu est aussi bien supporté. Les preuves de ces allégations proviennent de l'examen traditionnel et local des densités toponymiques et des données qualitatives révélant à la fois la capacité et la volonté, historiquement et actuellement, d'utiliser la cartographie Géoweb pour la préservation et la transmission des connaissances locales et traditionnelles.

This thesis examines the transmission of intergenerational cultural knowledge on eastern James Bay Cree lands. Geospatial technologies and the representation of Cree knowledge are explored, with emphasis on the geoweb. A geoweb with two parts, old and new, is theorized as compatible with Cree interests at a landscape level of analysis. Local and traditional knowledge scales also emerge as crucial levels of analysis for the creation and transmission of hybrid forms of knowledge on the geoweb.The hypothesis that the meme is a viable and valid mechanism (replicator) for the transmission of indigenous intergenerational knowledge on the geoweb is supported. The assertion that the geoweb would be the primary vehicle for the protection and replication of place-memes is also well supported. Evidence for these claims was provided by examining traditional and local toponymic densities and qualitative data, revealing both the capacity and the will, historically and presently, to use geoweb-enabled mapping for local and traditional knowledge preservation and transmission.
