Making Maps
"With maps we can demonstrate that we are forest people, and the forest is our land".
Leonard Odambo, Co-ordinator of Indigenous Peoples Organisation
The whole community comes together to make a map on the ground. Using stones and sticks they mark important areas such as rivers, hunting and fishing areas or sacred grounds. -
Map put to paper
Once the sketch of the area is made on the ground, it is transferred to paper.
