Evaluate these data files from BIA

[BethMattern]

From Tim at BIA: The Landless tribes dataset is a dataset of just the landless tribes. The dataset does not have exact name matching with the federal register but the names are easily identifiable. The second dataset is a Tribal HQ for all tribes that are not in the Alaskan region. There are a few reasons why this dataset numbers more than the number of tribes in the federal register for the non-Alaskan villages. The Minnesota Chippewa consists of 6 constituent tribes. Each constituent has their own headquarters. However, there is a location central to the tribes. You can remove those six as you need. They are all prefaced as Minnesota Chippewa Tribe – “NAME” There is a secondary Navajo chapter, Ramah Navajo Chapter that is included. Feel welcome to exclude this for tribal identification purposes Metlakatla Indian Community, Annette Island Reserve is technically Alaska but we include it with the Northwest region of the US along with Tribes in Oregon and Washington. Unlike the rest of the Alaskan tribes it is not a village and was not organized the same way. It is a full reservation and it makes sense to include it with the other regions because the structures are analogous. However, feel free to drop this one as well. It may not fit in your map extent but I wanted you to understand why there are some minor differences between the Tribal HQ dataset and the listing in the Federal Register.

@BethMattern , @lucasmbrown-usds and @KameronKerger

There were originally 4 data sources for tribal, namely:

1. Alaska Native Villages
2. BIA_National
3. BIA_Supplemental
4. BIA_TSA

When investigating how to add Tribal_HQ_non_Alaska (new data source from this ticket), it was realized that we CAN create a label layer for the each of the above data sources (including original 4).

This link shows the points of Tribal_HQ_non_Alaska data source as a label layer on the map.

@vim-usds is there a reason the tribal names are so large? can we control that?

[vim-usds]

@BethMattern - yes, we can totally style this, I just went with the default text style on this

[vim-usds]

@KameronKerger - maybe we can talk about this as well during our meeting today

When importing "Lower_48_Location_Labels"

We are prompted with the following options:

Choosing the last option of Point (356), leads to the following map:
