ILTF for a live Question & Answer session on mapping and GIS
August 30, 2022 @ 6:00 pm - 7:00 pm CDT
Maps are a critical tool to help people communicate by sharing data related to places in the world. Maps and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) also help people to better understand patterns and relationships, identify geographic context, and set priorities.
Please join ILTF for a live Question & Answer session on mapping and GIS. This online Town Hall-style event will be held on Tuesday, August 30 from 6 to 7 p.m. (Central Daylight Time). It is free to participate but registration is required in advance.
Landowners won’t want to miss this opportunity to get their questions answered about how to use mapping and geospatial data to better understand issues affecting their Indian land. Comments and questions will be welcome throughout the presentation.
