Brownfields Program - Geographic Information Systems
To best document our sites along with the cultural, traditional, and historical uses of our lands we have initiated a GIS Program. In October 2008, we held a 4-day Introduction to to GIS Training in Tununak, Alaska. The Consortium Brownfield and individual Village Environmental Staff attended. The training was the first of its kind, taught in Yup'ik, our primary language. Mr. Andrew Boyscout of Chevak, Alaska was the instructor. Staff are now applying what they learned by mapping the inventoried sites. Wealso held an Intermediate Training inFall 2009 to continue our program capacity building.
