Decolonised map of Ntabamnyama, out of scale

Colonial mapping in Upper uThukela erased BaTwa landscapes by renaming rivers and constructing dams over sacred sites which ended up being submerged and lost forever. Yet Indigenous names and totem trees endured. This project collapses colonial mapping layers, using Collective Cultural Memory and oral cartography and digital tools to restore Indigenous spatial memory.上乌图凯拉（Upper uThukela）流域的殖民测绘活动，通过更名河流、在神圣场址修筑水坝的手段，抹去了巴特瓦（BaTwa）族群的景观印记，相关神圣场址最终被淹没并永久遗失。然原住民地名与图腾林木仍得以存续。本项目借助集体文化记忆（Collective Cultural Memory）、口述地图学（oral cartography）与数字工具，拆解殖民测绘的层级框架，以还原原住民的空间记忆。
