Introduction

In this activity you are asked to revisit the Indigenous welcome you used when setting up your personal profile and share a photo and a brief description of the mountain, river, or piece of land that you referred to in in your welcome. If you didn’t include this in your personal profile, take the time now to select one of these natural elements that holds meaning for you. If you do not have an original photo, try searching Wikimedia Commons. Wikimedia Commons is a Creative Commons site that allows reuse of photos based on a licensing agreement.

Form Instructions

To create a pin on the map you must enter data into all the form fields. Write directly into the form text boxes on the left.

1. Enter the name of the location you are sharing on the map in the Location Name text area.
2. In the Location Address field use Google Maps to identify the place you would like to pin on the activity map. When identifying the location address, write the name of it directly into the box whether it is a mountain, river, ocean or even the name of a city if the land is close to that area. The form will provide you with options as you type. Select the correct location when it appears. The pin will then be placed on the world map and you can drag and drop it for more precision if required. If you have selected a place where there is already a pin, no worries, multiple pins will be visible as you zoom into the location.
3. Use the Browse button in the Location Image area to add an image to your map pin from your device. If you are using an image from a Creative Commons source such as Wikimedia Commons, you will need to download the image to your device before uploading the file, image URLs will not work.
