title = "Mapping the Hopi landscape for cultural preservation",
abstract = "For the Hopi people, named places on the landscape localize, commemorate, and transmit traditional knowledge within a spatial context used to reference and explain Hopi history and culture-geographic information the Hopi Tribe seeks to preserve. This paper discusses the Hopi Cultural Preservation Office's use of geospatial technologies during recent collaborative efforts to document important places and associated cultural information. It considers how GIS and other geospatial technologies have been used to produce maps and digital imagery in a manner guided by traditional landscape perspectives and native epistemologies. Mapping Hopi lands provides many benefits, foremost being the preservation of place-related knowledge for future generations of Hopis. Geospatial technologies also facilitate Hopi efforts of heritage management by providing a medium that effectively demonstrates use of traditional landscapes to non-Hopi audiences.",

note = "Funding Information: In 2010, HCPO, the American Museum of Natural History, and the University of Arizona began a three-year long collaborative project funded by the National Science Foundation to record Hopi toponyms to document the endangered Hopi language. The Hopi Place Names Project involved documenting the linguistic performance of place names and associated narratives using digital audio and video recordings and constructing a GIS database of named locations using ArcGIS software. Interviews with 15 Hopi individuals resulted in the documentation of nearly 300 place names ( Hedquist et al., 2014 ). Funding Information: We thank the Hopi Cultural Resources Advisory Task Team for its support and guidance during research. We also thank Renee Pualani Louis and Rebecca Dobbs for inviting our submission and four anonymous reviewers for comments and suggestions that improved the article. Work was funded by the Documenting Endangered Languages program of the National Science Foundation (BCS-0965949 and BCS-0966588), the World Monuments Fund, the W. M. Keck Foundation, and the University of Redlands. Publisher Copyright: Copyright {\textcopyright} 2015, IGI Global.",
