This Introduction to GIS training gives participants a practical foundation in working with data in ArcGIS. Participants will learn GIS fundamentals and explore how spatial data can be visualized and analyzed to support decision‑making on First Nation lands. Throughout the training, participants will practice essential skills such as querying data, selecting features by attribute and location, and performing basic spatial analysis.
By the end of the training, participants will be able to confidently work with spatial datasets, navigate ArcGIS with ease, and create clear, effective maps that support First Nation lands‑related projects. Ideal for newcomers to GIS and for lands offices building their GIS capacity for land use planning, environmental monitoring, and natural resource management.
