Geographic information system (GIS) research project at Navajo Community College - Shiprock Campus

摘要

The Navajo and Hopi GIS Project was established to assess the feasibility and impact of implementing GIS techology at Tribal institutions. Los Alamos and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratories funded the Navajo and Hopi Geographic Information System (G.I.S.) Project and assigned a mentor from LANL to help guide the project for three summer months of 1995. The six organizations involved were: LANL, LLNL, Navajo Community College, Navajo Nation Land Office, Northern Arizona University and San Juan College. The Navajo Land Office provided the system software, hardware, and training. The project sites are the Water Resource Department on the Hopi reservation and Navajo Community College in Shiprock, New Mexico.
