Minnesota Tribal Government GIS Contacts

This list of contact information for Minnesota's tribal governments that use GIS provides a starting point to direct questions about geographic data and GIS technology. It was developed by Dawn Sherk in 2010 and will be updated periodically. Also see the list of tribal government websites maintained by the State of Minnesota.

Users of this list should not assume that their specific data or mapping needs can be met through these contacts.
