Abstract
This research project centers on visualizing barriers to accessing culturally significant plant species for the Squamish Nation. By utilizing an interactive map, community members can toggle layers on and off, making it easier to locate and access traditional harvesting sites within their territory. A key feature of this project is the "Community Harvesting Form," which allows Nation members to share information about specific harvesting sites and plant species. This project is designed to protect data ownership and sovereignty, ensuring that information remains within the community.
