>Information System (GIS) Day.  You are invited to attend.
>
>Abstract:
>
>The Names-Places Project is a collaborative undertaking by the
>Coeur d'Alene Tribal Elders, the Language Center and the Geographic
>Information Systems (GIS) Department.  The purpose of this project
>is to preserve Tribal Culture by visiting geographic sites and recording
>video, audio and still photos of Tribal Elders describing the site in both
>English and Coeur d Alene languages.  Locations of these sites are
>added to the Tribal GIS and digital video, audio and still photos of the
>site are attached to the map.  A GIS allows computer files to be linked to
>sites on maps that can be accessed with a mouse click.  The Coeur
>d'Alene Tribe has recognized the potential of emerging technologies for
>archiving, preserving and presenting cultural information.
