The Drum as Map: Western Knowledge Systems and Northern Indigenous Map Making

Discusses differences between Western and Indigenous understandings of what maps are, how they are made, how they look and what they do using two examples: one a drawing of north-eastern Siberia by a Chukchi man, the other by Sami of Lapland using marks on a drum in conjunction with Shamanistic performances as a means of mapping physical, spiritual and temporal elements of the environment.
