Forward from a very long distribution list:
Hi J,
So you are not aware of any Indigenous communities engaged with OSM
anywhere in Canada? It would be great if OSM could be introduced to
Indigenous community members so they can help define a direction.
Since you have contacts, can you help doing introductions? I am
assuming you are part of the OSM community already? How would you
propose creating a working group?
Also can we move this discussion to the OSM Canada mailing list?
There is an active discussion on the building initiative there. Maybe
others know about Indigenous activities already?

Hi everyone,
I brought up a few issues surrounding Indigenous engagement at the
meeting in July.
There still remains no engagement with Indigenous communities
whatsoever. It is pertinent that if you want to involve the
Indigenous demographic that an Indigenous Working Group be
established to develop, plan, and engage with communities in the
spirit of truth and reconciliqtion, especially in light of the
recent TRC.
The 2018 Indigenous Mapping Workshop will be hosted in Montreal. It
might provide a good venue to truly get the conversation/movement
going forward.
Our tech partners, Google, Esri Canada, and Mapbox, are working with
us to develop geospatial capacity building within communities;
therefore, it could be a good opportunity to bridge efforts with the
100+ communities that will attend the event.
Feel free to reach out to me if there is interest in any partnership
with our programming in Montreal, QC.
Thanks!
