GreatLakesCommonsMap

Welcome to the Great Lakes Commons map Youtube Channel. 

This map is designed with you and your voice about the Great Lakes in mind. It is a shared map, an open map, and a map that dares us to re-orient ourselves to this bio-region. The kinds of maps we use shape our perspective to its places. A highway map, a tourist map, a hiking map, or a store map in a shopping mall all organize what is important and what role the map user has. This collaborative map of the Great Lakes also marks what is important and what roles we can all play in making these lakes a Commons. A Commons perspective of the Great Lakes respects the waters as the heritage, sustenance, and inheritance of all peoples and species that live within this bio-region.
