Deliverables

Deliverable I: Online Ecocultural Map / Data Visualization

A GIS database and online ecocultural map of Xetthecum that builds upon existing terrestrial ecosystem mapping and biodiversity datasets, complementing past participatory mapping exercises undertaken by members of the Galiano Island community. Creating this online map will at once serve to elaborate an open source ecocultural mapping framework that can be adapted to meet the needs of Whiteswan Environmental and other Indigenous communities.

Deliverable II: Project Documentation

Documentation of our efforts to plan, implement and synthesize the results of this project into the ecocultural mapping framework.

Acceptance Criteria

Acceptance Criteria were established and assessed through the recommendations of project participants through each phase in the project’s development, implementation and reporting. Content deliverables are to be accepted upon submission and approval by Puneluxutth’ Knowledge-Holders, project sponsors, partners, and advisors.

Perhaps more important than the tangible deliverables we aimed to produce through this project, was the process of creating them. We envision this process as an intergenerational, cross-cultural, and multidisciplinary community of practice, promoting skill-sharing, and exchange of vital ecocultural knowledge that can support ongoing biodiversity and ecocultural monitoring practices for generations to come. We hope that these resources may prove useful to those interested in adapting these methods to map other important ecocultural sites throughout the bioregion.
