When the Oneida Tribe (Wisconsin) needs supplies for their GIS department, they often turn to one of their own: True North Resources. TNR is an native-owned small business that supplies wide-format paper, ink, and foam-core board to tribal GIS departments. As a member of the Oneida Nation, Kathryn Turenske, founder/owner of TNR, is familiar with tribal departments and how they work.
"2009 was my first IMN conference. Conference host, Celene Elm (Oneida GIS director) invited me to participate as a vendor", Turenske said. Upon learning more of IMN's goals and mission, she decided to volunteer with some of the planning leading up to IMN 2009. "I loved meeting people who work in tribal GIS departments", Turenske added.
TNR offers expertise of wide-format media types and their applications for map making. True North Resources has helped tribal GIS departments be more effective and efficient with their supply purchases. "I want to be the 'go-to' native supplier of products for the indigenous mapping community", says Turenske.
