An Overview of Spokane Tribe GISIn 2010, Spokane Tribe GIS started on a new path beginning with the

formation of the Spokane Tribe GIS Planning and Executive Committees. A draft strategic plan began in 2010 with a comprehensive update in 2013. The program has evolved from 1000's of shapefiles to a centrally managed database with over 70 vector and raster layers. Projects have included efforts with GIS programs at the University of Washington and the University of Redlands. Tips, tricks, and lessons learned will be shared.

(We can see the “cloud” but we really can’t use it. We are in a remote location with limited bandwidth.)

The Beginning: Enterprise GIS, Job Description, the GIS Mission Statement,

Governance and the Strategic Plan

Enterprise GIS

Within introductory meetings with directors, program managers and others “Enterprise GIS” was made a clear goal.

Tip: Land ownership and roads are good examples of enterprise datasets that are used by many. It’s fairly easy to make the point that we don’t want multiple iterations of them developed independently per program or department.

A vision of enterprise GIS implemented as Tribal GIS.

Aligned Job Description with Goal

Aligned Job Description with Goal

Additionally:

• Removed blanket statement “…performs other duties as assigned.”

• Reworked language to thwart map factory creation:

”Produces professional quality GIS display maps on request by the director” (prevents random requests from staff*)

“Assists program staff in map production as requested” (shift “map graphics” to data stewards)

* We have a GIS Coordinator that handles map requests, separately.

Performed Needs Analysis

Needs Analysis

In this case, the needs analysis was actually an interview with each program, department and business unit manager. I gathered and compiled information about what they do, how they use GIS (some did not) and where they may want to go.

Tip: Followed strategy outlined in “Proposal to Create an Enterprise GIS Strategic Plan” (Leach, 2008) available from: http://timleachgis.com/pdf/EGISProposal.pdf.

I summarized the information per unit and reviewed the summaries with managers and staff. Once signed-off, these became sections within the first iteration of the Spokane Tribe GIS Strategic Plan (2010).

Mission Statement

The Spokane Tribe's Geographic Information System (GIS) will support the vision of the Tribe: our mission is to expand the capability and capacity to manage geospatial information – from the past and into the future – about the land, resources, environment and people, to support the governance and sovereignty of the Tribe.

DNR Mission StatementPreserve, protect, manage and enhance the long term sustainability

of the Natural Resources for present and future generations, through an interdisciplinary process by developing and implementing Best Management Practices.

The Strategic Plan

Eight sections, 78 sub-sections, 60 pages, approved by GPC in draft form.

Eight sections, 114 sub-sections, references, appendices, 129 pages, approved by GPC in release form.

Geospatial Data

Geospatial Data Policy Guidelines

Geospatial Data Management Policy Guidelines

The policy items below were copied and adapted from “Data Steward Roles & Responsibilities” by Robert S. Seiner. Though they have not formally been adopted, we can view them as guidelines:

Tribal Geospatial Data is property of the Tribe and not owned by any individual or administrative unit.

Tribal Geospatial Data must be modeled and when possible according to standards across administrative units. Every effort must be made to share data across divisions, programs and offices, and not to maintain redundant data.

Tribal Geospatial Data must be maintained as close to the source as possible. Data quality standards shall be managed to actively promote reliability and use by other administrative units.

Geospatial Data Policy Guidelines

Geospatial Data Management Policy Guidelines(continued)

Tribal Geospatial Data will be maintained by data stewards; data stewards are individuals responsible for the definition, management, control, integrity, and maintenance of data resources within an administrative unit.

Tribal Geospatial Data must be safe and secured.

Metadata will be maintained with Tribal Geospatial Data.
