Abstract
Tribal GIS Protocol Using Standard Tables across Cultural Identifying Factors
Track: Tribal/Indigenous GIS programs
Author(s): Sandra Gaskell, Danette Johnson, Anthony Brochini
Indigenous names relating to significant people and places along major tributaries descending from Yosemite Valley and emptying into the great San Joaquin River define culture boundaries. Compilation of data necessary for completing a Tribal GIS database used seven criterion listed by the BIA and implemented into theme layers. When GIS resource layers from other agencies are queried, patterns emerge to relate lineages of eleven cultural resource routes, through ceremonial villages, camps, and Treaty E, Treaty M boundaries, to ethnographic village records. Tribal GIS Protocols can be applied to data sets from other tribal cultures using a simple set of table guidelines for watershed nomenclature that may replicate this study.
