This one-day training is designed for Tribal environmental, cultural resource, and natural resource staff who participate in NEPA and NHPA Section 106 reviews and want to use GIS as a practical support tool. No prior experience is required.
Participants are introduced to core GIS concepts using accessible tools that do not require a license. The course covers GIS basics, creating USGS quadrangle maps that incorporate generalized cultural resources information, and using maps to support early project scoping and review.
A key focus of the training is protecting sensitive Tribal data. Participants learn how to generalize cultural resource information, manage data access, and use GIS to support more efficient NEPA and Section 106 processes without disclosing confidential locations or knowledge.
This training is well-suited for Tribal cultural and natural resource specialists and THPO staff, and others who support environmental reviews and consultation and want practical mapping tools that align with Tribal data governance and regulatory responsibilities.
