Reviving our culture, Mapping our future
The story of a special
gathering in Venda, South Africa, and a
community process in eco-cultural
mapping. Indigenous leaders from Altai
(Russia) and the Colombian Amazon, and
NGO representatives from South Africa,
Kenya and Ethiopia, accompany Tshidvizhe
community as they explore a simple yet
powerful way to express the past and
present of their territory and
livelihoods onto hand-drawn maps. The
maps highlight the importance of their
culture, sacred sites and territory, and
empower them to map the future they need
to strive for.
