I second that the elders wishes should be respected. With regards to documenting. One way would be to mark the local indigenous area/tribe/... And then outline in the wiki what should not be mapped in order to respect the wishes. I recall a recent blog post or Diary entry regarding indigenous communities mapping.
In a sense this falls in the same category as 'I don't want my backyard shed or pool mapped from satellite images'. Although the cultural aspects are not the same :-) -- Sent from my Android device with K-9 Mail. Please excuse my brevity.
