Further Infomation

Thanks for the feedback, I intend to go into a bit more detail on the section of representations under colonialism. Basically, what I've found is that there were certain individuals and groups who thought documenting indigenous culture was important, but that was generally in a scientific sense. That is, they were anthropologists, folklorists, ethnographers, who studied indigenous culture and therefore documented it in that way. I have read some compelling arguments about how that scientific interest was a reflection of the victorian/imperialist attitude of like, knowing about something is how you have control over it. This argument discusses how maps of regions were important to knowing what territory was owned by whom, and ethnographies are like the social/cultural extension of that. So, I might go into that a bit more, but I was sort of torn about how much academic discourse (eg., historiography and interpretations) would be appropriate for a wiki.
