Greetings from your friends and colleagues at Tribal GIS!

During the holiday season more than ever, our thoughts turn gratefully to those who have helped to shape our organization.

2015 has been a milestone year for us in meeting new friends and reconnecting with old friends. We are excited to continue our efforts through recent organizational partnerships with  the National States Geographic Information Council (NSGIC) and the Environmental Systems Research Institute (Esri).

Be sure to keep an eye out for the 2016 first quarter newsletter for a recap of highlights from the 2015 National Tribal GIS Conference.

We look forward to working with you in the years to come as we continue to steadily work towards new and existing initiatives that enable us to establish "The Best Practices and Standards for Geographic Information Systems within Indian Country."

Merry Christmas and Best Wishes for the New Year!

Tribal Transportation Data Model



Tribal GIS Transportation Route Center Line Data Model Now Open for Comments

On December 7, 2015 the NTGISC transportation workgroup opened the draft standardized route center line dataset for comments. The route center line dataset is at the center of an ongoing effort to develop a full tribal transportation ArcGIS data model over time. 

Recently, Mr. Garet Couch had the opportunity to discuss the draft data model with the Bureau of Indian Affairs  Division of Transportation (DOT) team. Through this meeting we gained valuable insight to changes within the Road Inventory Field Data System (RIFDS) that will assist in making significant changes to the draft data model.

At this time, the NTGISC transportation workgroup is asking for tribal and BIA staff involved in transportation programs to review the draft data model documentation and geodatabase. The documentation and geodatabase is available for download from the members section of the Tribal GIS website under the transportation workgroup section. A designated forum titled, "Draft Transportation Data Model Feedback" has been created within the Tribal GIS website to gather comments.

The NTGISC transportation workgroup request that all comments be submitted by February 1, 2016. All submissions will be reviewed by the workgroup for inclusion in the final version of the data model. Log in today by visiting www.tribalgis.com.
