How Oregon cartographers are de-colonizing maps of indigenous lands.

A traditional map of Oregon shows the Cascades, the Willamette Valley, the high desert and the coast. But there's a lot of information NOT depicted, like the indigenous lands of Oregon's Native Americans and the original place names given to them.
