Tribal GIS ESRI/BIA Training Survey
News
Last Updated on Wednesday, 24 December 2008 10:05 Written by Rosemarie McKeon
On December 1, 2008, Grant Timentwa, GIS Program Manager for the Muckleshoot Indian Tribe's Planning Division, posted a note on the Northwest Tribal GIS group: "The Bureau of Indian Affairs CIO, Sanjeev "Sonny" Bhagowalia, who many of you met at the ESRI User Conference last summer is leaving his position at the BIA and taking on the role of CIO of the entire Dept. of Interior. This is an important time to convey any issues regarding the support for GIS in Indian Country to Sonny as he briefs his successor and takes his new high level position at the DOI. While the NGRC actively provides training services to the tribes for ArcGIS Desktop, based on many of your comments it appears many tribes require training on advanced GIS topics such as ArcGIS Server."
"While some tribes have been successful in applying for ESRI Conservation Grants to pay for training, this program only supports tribal GIS programs that are directly related to conservation programs and is not likely to continue indefinitely. ESRI is actively exploring a number of solutions but we need your feedback to be sure we understand your training requirements. David Gadsden from ESRI will be meeting with Sonny and other senior BIA staff in DC early next week where he hopes to present your responses to the questionnaire below. Completing the survey should only take about 5 minutes of you time."
"Please complete the following training questionnaire no later than Friday December 5th:
Here is the link to the survey:
http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=Em5VA7MizEmaEBWC4VbR4w_3d_3d "
Unfortunately, the meeting was canceled at the last minute by the BIA but the survey is still up. If you are a Tribal program that is using or considering using GIS, please complete the survey.
On December 15th, seventy-six people had responded, and the survey results (still in progress) were shared by Grant so that Indigenous Mapping Network readers could learn about the survey and its status, and if anyone had yet to submit their input, could do so. He also said that David Gadsden would present the findings during the Federal ESRI Conference in February 2009.
The survey asked whether tribal GIS training needs were being met, the titles of various tribal GIS department staff, what specific category of training was required, whether tribes had ArcGIS servers or an ArcGIS image server (the majority did not), and when they anticipated purchasing either. The last questions asked about the types of ESRI training completed and what training requirements remain to be completed for a particular tribal GIS department. The partial survey (pdf) results can be found at:

Many of you are aware that the U. S.

A few GIS folks from the Coeur d' Alene Tribe shared with me that they have been recipients of CAP grants since 2005. The Coeur d'Alene Tribe Name Place Project has been possible through various CAP grants. One of the tribe's goal was to officially change fifteen offensive names referencing geographic features (mountains, streams, etc) on tribal land. The mission took from February 2006 until November 4, 2008, voting day, when the U.S. Board of Geographic Names finalized the last name change. Congratulations!
