[ link to www.sapiens.org (secure)] That was the problem that Jim Enote, director of the A:shiwi A:wan Museum and Heritage Center at Zuni Pueblo in northwestern New Mexico, sought to address more than a decade ago. He recognized the conceptual and political power of maps, but realized that while modern American maps will get him from place to place, they fail to record and present the landscape in a meaningful way from the perspective of a culturally literate Zuni. Put another way, modern maps don’t record places important to Zuni history, cosmology, ecology, and religion.Zuni maps are not limited by lines or topography. They depict cultural landscapes and living memories. They represent the world without defined boundaries. Many people are familiar with geometric maps with streets and roads. When they see Zuni hand painted maps they realize there is a different way at looking at the world. -from caves to cosmos Funny enough, yesterday I thought about how gen z probably couldn’t get from a to b without punching in an address.
