Abstract This article develops a decolonial participatory method to map the geographies of descendants of fugitives from slavery, or Maroons, to disrupt white‐Mestizo constructions of Latin American territories. Maroon‐descendant communities can take advantage of existing archives and their extensive oral history to explain their territorial development from a home‐grown perspective. With the researcher's assistance, members of San Basilio de Palenque, Colombia, used their knowledge and emotions as a lens through which to analyse colonial records to map their territory from both a historical and present day perspective. Feeling/thinking about dispossession and resistance while counter‐using the colonial archive to reclaim Afro‐descendant territory is a subversive undertaking, one that is engrained in the legacy of Maroon resistance.
