Abstract

A Tribal Enterprise GIS
Track: Tribal/Indigenous GIS Programs
Authors: William Howell

Tribal GIS development can be cumbersome and frustrating. Design and planning often take a backseat to urgent needs like ad hoc maps or to even perform duties assigned in a non GIS title. The GIS' ambiguity from Tribe to Tribe can often shadow the path to success. By creating vision and deploying strategy, we can administratively steer a standard GIS to an Enterprise GIS. My presentation will highlight the administrative tasks and showcase goals for successfully implementing an Enterprise GIS.
