Overview

Volume 2 concerns academic contributions dating back to the early 1800s: Such cartographic contributions are not entirely products of college or university scholars, but their development, design and printing reflect an academic and/or scientific endeavor about Native America. At a much later date, academia is participating in the fieldwork, data-gathering, design and production of maps and atlases. Scholars also have figured prominently as the leaders and synthesizers of the legal cartography of tribal land claims. We would logically emphasize that much of the academic producers have been ethnologists, historians, and geographers to a lesser extent. As one study reports, archaeologists have also been concerned about cartographic methods in recording archaeological data in the field.
