Abstract

Kasaan Traditional Ecological Knowledge Project
Track: Ecology and Conservation
Author(s): Cathy Needham

In a joint project with Esri, the Organized Village of Kasaan began developing an interactive GIS database that houses traditional Tribal natural resource information as well as current natural resource and environmental information. We will present our GIS database, demonstrating the type of in multimedia information that can be incorporated into it. The project will assist the Tribe in educating future generations of Kasaan residents as well as be used as outreach for future economic development in tourism.
