Geospatial Impacts of Land Allotment at the Standing Rock Reservation, USA: Patterns of Gain and Loss
Allotment—the division of Native American reservations into individually-owned plots of land—has been extensively studied; yet there exists a paucity of reservation-level studies at granular geospatial scales, i.e., at the level of examining the impacts of allotment on individuals, families, and clan or tribal groups. In previous research, we described a new semi-automated method for creating detailed GIS allotment databases and discussed the pol…
Automated Mapping of Historical Native American Land Allotments at the Standing Rock Sioux Reservation Using Geographic Information Systems
The General Allotment Act of 1887, also known as the Dawes Act, established the legal basis for the United States government to break up remaining tribally-owned reservation lands in the U.S. by allotting individual parcels to tribal members and selling the remaining “surplus.” This research explores the processes involved in mapping these historical allotments and describes a method to automatically generate spatial data of allotments. A custom …
Renaming the Indians: State-Sponsored Legibility through Permanent Family Surnames among the Sisseton and Wahpeton at Lake Traverse, 1903
Legibility is a state-sponsored goal of making citizens known, visible, measurable, and controllable (Scott 1998). Projects undergirding this goal include censuses, cadastral surveys, and the creation of permanent surnames, all of which, unsurprisingly, were important parts of the push to assimilate Native peoples in the United States. While land allotment is well understood as a keystone of assimilation policy, less well known is a project to “r…
Territorial Cleansing: A Geopolitical Approach to Understanding Mass Violence
The ‘geopolitical where’ of genocide and mass violence has been understudied, under-theorized, and underappreciated, particularly by those outside geography. We examine the study of genocide and mass violence with a critical geographic lens and propose a framework, territorial cleansing, that places such events within an idealized territorial conceptualization. We define territorial cleansing as a geopolitical project consisting of processes, pol…
Introduction: Geographies of Genocide
Exploremap: An Exploration System for Choropleth Maps
Software for interactive choropleth mapping typically focuses on design, with the assumption that the resulting map will be used like a traditional paper one. We believe that interactive graphics also should enable users to explore the database underlying a map. In this vein, we have developed software that will permit users to both design a map and explore the underlying database. The exploration component, the raison d'être for the software, in…
Traditional Versus Sequenced Choropleth Maps/An Experimental Investigation
Modern computer technology provides cartographers with a host of new display potentialities not possible with traditional printed maps. One of these is sequencing, or the display of map elements in a particular order. This paper evaluates sequencing of choropleth maps via reaction time experiments with human subjects. Informal experiments reveal that subjects favor some form of sequencing, while formal experiments show no significant difference b…
Animated Cartography/Thirty Years of Scratching the Surface
Animation as applied to thematic cartography is conspicuous by its absence. This article explores the reasons for the lack of incorporation of animation into cartography and the future prospects of animation methods. Examples of dynamic information as traditionally portrayed in static maps are reviewed as are some of the pioneering works in animated cartographic sequences. Techniques in computer animation are discussed, and difficulties associate…
