Vancouver sits on Coast Salish Territory, yet many remain unaware of the relationships that the Coast Salish share with the landscape. Colonization has included the near-erasure of Coast Salish presence within historical documents. My project \u2014 an exhibition featuring scans of maps and book covers \u2014 attempts to rewrite historical maps of Vancouver. I study the colonizing qualities of several 19th-century maps, and analyze the paratext of various editions of Pauline Johnson\u2019s Legends of Vancouver (a text that tells Coast Salish stories about the Vancouver landscape). My exhibition particularly aims to showcase how these editions re-map Vancouver in decolonizing ways.<\/p>\n
