The Earth Defenders Toolkit has been translated into Khmer, Swahili, Thai, and Vietnamese, in its entirety.

…we propose to leverage the Terrastories codebase to create a sister application of Terrastories for mapping oral histories about the cosmos, called StellarStories. We will adapt the Terrastories API, CMS, and front-end to work with an interactive canvas of the cosmos. Communities will be able to use the same features in Terrastories to control who has access to the content, decide on whether to host their stories online or offline, create curricula of stories for educational purposes, and design a public view of their StellarStories for a global audience to explore.

We are very pleased to announce that we have received a $50,000 grant from The Association of Tribal Archives, Libraries, and Museums (ATALM) to support the mapping of Dakota traditional knowledge and oral histories by the Sisseton Wahpeton Oyate (SWO) of the Lake Traverse Reservation using the app Terrastories.

Sustain Podcast: Today, you will find out about Mae’s involvement and the many hats that she wears working for True Link Financial, Title Track Michigan, and Ruby for Good. Also, we learn about some of the projects she’s built and others she’s involved in, which are Mutual Aid, Voices of Consent, and Terrastories.

Terrastories will be included in the Earth Defenders’ Toolkit as one of the first of three featured tools, along with Digital Democracy’s Mapeo and Forest Peoples Programme’s Community Lands.

We are thrilled to announce that Terrastories will be featured at this year’s 2020 Indigenous Mapping Workshop (online)! 🎉🎉🎉 On Monday, December 16 at 3pm EST we will host a 45 minute technical session on how Terrastories works for attendees of #2020IMW.
