feb 22.13 Put Tibet back in the Map Under the Chinese occupation many Tibetan towns and cultural landmarks not only were destroyed but also renamed with new Chinese names. To stop this ongoing attempt to systematically wipe out the Tibetan identity, language and tradition, we are starting a worldwide petition asking Google to put Tibet’s heritage back on the map – by officially adding the traditional Tibetan names written in the Tibetan alphabet. So from February 13th 2013, exactly 100 years after Tibet’s declaration of independence, we are collecting all the information about Tibetan landmarks on this map. Please support our peaceful protest by sharing this map and writing a comment to help convince Google. If you would like to contribute your knowledge of historical names, places and stories, please contact us at tibetonthemap@gmail.com Seven ways to help us put the Tibetan language officially on Google Maps. 1. 572 this map with your friends 2.
