Track: Tribal/Indigenous GIS Programs
Authors: James Payne

In response to the increased demand for renewable energy, both by government declaration and by people’s choice for a sustainable environment, utilizing solar power has been considered increasingly more. A Southern California Indian Reservation’s geographic location, large land base, and land use planning potentially make an ideal area for solar collection. Considering certain constraints, analysis was conducted to provide information regarding the potential solar power to the decision makers.
