Responding to messages: Maps (and counter-maps) of resistance to extractivism in Latin America/Caribbean
(Originally posted elsewhere on 3 September 2023.)
Mhm, I imagine you might be thinking of my two-part post from August 2020, which included references to a set of maps published in 2018 in a special publication:
Leilane Reis Santos an Maria del Carmen Villarreal Villamar, Pacha: Defending the Land: Extractivism, conflicts, and alternatives in Latin America and the Caribbean (2018). It's available through academia.edu (for now, anyway).
There's a fair amount of text (in the full document) that provides more detail. The are eight individual maps which are split into these categories: Environmental Impacts of Extractivism; Extractivism and Displacements; Women's Resistances and Struggles; Indigenous People's Struggles and Resistances; Fights and Resistances of Afro-Descendant People; Extractivism and Multinational Companies [...]; Criminalization of Social Movements that Fight Against Mining; Beyond Extractivism: Activism and Construction of Alternatives.
Back then, the same month as those posts, I also posted about an Indigenous "counter-mapping" workshop.
The event was described in a blog post at Transformations to Sustainability by Sunitha Chari: "Mapping Back: A workshop on counter mapping resource conflicts on Indigenous homelands". 4 December 2017. [The headline, photos, and the text of the caption displayed below were published by Chari.] But you can actually visited the project itself at Geomedia Lab: https://geomedialab.org/mapping_back.html
And like a week before that, I post about Tlingit countermapping in the North Pacific/Pacific Northwest:
Ruth Hayman. “Heen Aawashaayi Shaawat / Marrying the water: the Tlingit, the Tagish, and the making of place.” Dissertation, LMU Munchen, Geosciences. 2018.

And I also posted that month about Zuni counter-mapping:
April O’Brien. “Mapping as/and Remembering: Chora/graphy as a Critical Spatial Method-Methodology.” enculturation. 11 May 2020.

Anyway, I think this is the one you're thinking of:
