Dear Readers:

Some of the most meaningful work of my career has been alongside Indigenous communities fighting to preserve their lands, histories, and ways of life. Those experiences profoundly shaped how I understand geography, science, and our responsibility to the people whose stories have too often been erased.

This Indigenous Peoples’ Day, I’m sharing the extraordinary work of artists and cartographers who are reclaiming those stories, one map at a time.

If you believe in journalism grounded in science, guided by compassion, and unafraid to speak truth to power, please consider becoming a paid subscriber. Your support makes this work possible.
