Access ArcGIS
Many federally recognized tribes have access to ArcGIS software and can leverage GIS tools to create positive impacts in their communities. Tribal staff can use GIS and the spatial perspective to improve communication, decision-making, and efficiency in their organizations.

As some of the earliest adopters of GIS technology, Native American tribal governments have used GIS to support thousands of programs and initiatives.
