The proposed exhibit would present the 12 mapped islands in two formats.

Each island’s map would hang from the walls, allowing visitors to walk along the island coastlines, orienting themselves to the owners of each coastal parcel, and understanding the breadth of seasonal land ownership.

Additionally, each island’s map would exist on a table in the exhibition space. Visitors would be able to mark-up, notate, write down, draw, and describe their own experience and occupation of each island’s coastline.

In this way, the exhibit would attempt to indicate the ownership of the coastal parcels on each island, as well as the occupation of those parcels, calling into question public rights, seasonal rights, historical and indigenous ownership, and informal or formal easements to coastal lands.
