Mapping
Tŝilhqot’in National Government Mapping Department
The Stewardship Department’s Geographic Information System (GIS) Team provides a wide range of mapping and data services to the Tŝilhqot’in National Government and member communities.
The GIS Analysts support the Nation’s goals of self-governance by collecting and managing spatially recorded Traditional Use Study (TUS). This information is used for, among other priorities, language preservation through place-names, arguing strength of claim, and assessment of land-use proposals in the context of sensitive cultural uses. The stewardship portal plays an important role for mapping as well.
