Wednesday, 3/8/06, from 10:00 AM - 11:40 AM
Session Description:
Spatial data, information, and knowledge production and use should be situated to the cultural context in which that production and use occurs. There are various ways to understand how geographic information becomes situated. The papers in this session will examine a number of geographic information issues relevant to Indian Nations that motivate development and use of GIS in various ways. This is one of two sessions on this topic.
