The Concept Of Indigenous GIS
--
Reading a paper (alturl.com/8wte5), they used the specific term ‘Indigenous GIS’ – and I found this intriguing!
As I read it, spatial data collection and analysis was done with a focus on how a tribe or social group might ‘see’ the data, including spatiotemporal....
I look forward to finding out more about what others are working on! – so PLEASE feel free to share any examples that you might have…

My brain is pretty trashed tonight, but I wanted to drop in and say, while there are multiple flavours of shit on fire popping into my feed, I've also sent 26 things that made me happy over to @joybooster

And I find it so heartening. ✨

Everybody be all: ok yeah shit is nasty ...but have you seen this cool chicken I crocheted?

My wife Loes in the Royal Museum of Fine Arts, Antwerp, Belgium, 2024.

My firts post on Pixelfed must of course be a photograph of the two things a hold most dearest in live, apart from my two lovely daughters, and those are: my wife Loes and the mother of all arts…architecture.

It is said that the mirror is the symbol of imagery or of awareness. The mirror has the ability to copy the visible reflections of the world in its own figural reality. Scheler and other philosophers associated mirrors with thought because it is a mental instrument that is the reflection of the universe and enables you to observe yourself. Frequently mirrors emerge in legends and fairytales, showing what happened in the past or what will happen in the future or what is happening now from a very far distance.
The mirror always tells the truth. Without need for the masks we people wear to protect ourselves, mirrors reflect only what they see. In a way mirrors are able to perceive the soul of ourselves, as well as of the people and things surrounding us, as they are without cover. This is partially due to the fact that what we see when we look into the mirror is actually not reality. Rather, the reflection in the mirror is an inverted version of the world we live in. Or is it the other way around?

I can almost see an angry face in the middle and a small maw at the base of this tree, and with no leaves, it might seem to be a scary tree out to get me.

But with a fringe of tiny orange leaves on it's branches, it makes me think of an old woman putting on her best Sunday hat as she goes out to a holiday party. The maw at the base of the trunk becomes her yappy dog of almost 20 years that despite its age enjoys a jog through the snow much as he did as a puppy.
