Mapping indigenous LA
This project was created to help show reminisce and history of indigenous people like the Tongva and Tataviam in the LA area by the use of images, videos, interactive maps, etc. It uses digital story telling to show the displacement of such indigenous people by government policies.
Sources: This project used a lot of archival material and teaching material from historical documents such as images, videos, maps, etc. It uses these documents to show the waterways, educational timeline, and to create a story map that tells you a brief history of the indigenous people who were displaced in LA area.
Process: The story maps are created by ESRI, which helped to create interactive story maps to illustrate the data in a more visually stimulating and easy to follow manner.
Presentation: The presentation is very fluid and easily navigational. The website provides story maps which provides images and timelines of indigenous people like the Gabrielino/Tongva, pacific islanders, Latin American indigenous diaspora. Each story map includes links, videos, pictures, maps, etc.
