Cartographic Display of Indigenous Lands in Apple Maps

Apple Maps offers a rich basemap representing both the physical and political world.Our terrain and physical environment, human settlement and connection, and administrative layers strive to be inclusive of all communities and local expectations.To that end, we brought Indigenous Lands to the Apple Maps product which required new data, new technical approaches, and thoughtful design.We worked directly with indigenous cartographers, local experts, and tribal nations to respectfully and inclusively represent these lands.
