This talk gives an overview of recent Mellon-funded research toward the creation of a digital atlas of Dakota/Lakota/Nakota storytelling related to culturally-, historically-, and politically-significant places across Oceti Sakowin territory. Building on the work of other recent Indigenous digital mapping projects (Bdote Memory Map 2023; Goodhouse 2019; Montoya 2021), the Oceti Sakowin Owapi (Atlas) will center storytelling as a way of unsettling settler-colonial parameters of the mapping form and of privileging instead Indigenous embodiment, language, and performance.
