In The Ends of Research Tom zdenSchilling explores the afterlives of several research initiatives that emerged in the wake of the War in the Woods a period of antilogging blockades in Canada in the late twentieth century. Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork among neighboring communities of White environmental scientists and First Nations mapmakers in northwest British Columbia zdenSchilling examines these researchers lasting investments and the ways they struggle to continue their work long after the loss of government funding. He charts their use of planning documents Indigenous territory maps land use plots reports and other documents that help them not only to survive institutional restructuring but to hold on to the practices that they hope will enable future researchers to continue their work.
