USER NOTES:
The data are created to serve as base information for use in GIS systems for a variety of planning and analytical purposes. The use of this data for engineering work or to legally define reservation boundaries is prohibited. The BIA, in conjunction with the Bureau of Land Management and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, assisted in the development of the Map Overlay and Statistical System (MOSS), an early public domain GIS. This development effort resulted in the completion in 1983 of the Forest Management Plan for the Hoopa Indian Reservation. The decision to initiate a national GIS program within the BIA was made that same year and a large scale database development efforted was initiated. MOSS was used as the GIS and the Analytical Mapping System (AMS) was used for data entry. The database limitations of MOSS soon became evident. Except for a very limited flat file database capability, MOSS was limited to one attribute with no more than 16 characters. This made it very cumbersome to perform even modestly sophisticated data queries required for many management models. The data structure itself led to major processing difficulties in basic GIS functions such as buffering and overlays. Large numbers of slivers were a fact of life. In 1988, the decision was made to convert GIS operations within BIA to ARC/INFO. Consequently, this necessitated the conversion of approximately 25,000 MOSS data files to the ARC/INFO format. BIA data were placed in individual databases by reservation. This allowed the direct conversion of MOSS databases to ARC/INFO libraries in a systematic manner. Currently, there are approximately 210 libraries actively maintained on the GDSC system, each representing one reservation. Reservations range in size from Navajo (approximately 16 million acres) to rancherias in California which are less than 5 acres. This dataset does not include statistical entities such as Tribal Jurisdictional Statistical Areas (TJSA), Tribal Designated Statistical Areas (TDSA) and Alaska Native Villages Statistical Areas. A note concerning data scale: Scale is an important factor in data usage. Certain scale datasets are not suitable for some project, analysis, or modelling purposes. Please be sure you are using the best available data. 1:24000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the county level. 1:24000 data should NOT be used for high accuracy base mapping such as property parcel boundaries. 1:100000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the multi-county or regional level. 1:250000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the regional or state level or larger. Vector datasets with no defined scale or accuracy should be considered suspect. Make sure you are familiar with your data before using it for projects or analyses. Every effort has been made to supply the user with data documentation. For additional information, see the References section and the Data Source Contact section of this documentation.

FGDL QUALITY ASSURANCE STATUS:
-Reprojected data to FGDL Albers HPGN (See "Map Projection Parameters" below) -Extent set to the State of Florida -Added DESCRIPT item based on CNTYNAME -Upcased all character records -Dropped old internal coverage items: INDRESFL_, INDRESFL_I, INDRES_, INDRES_ID -Dropped fields with no values: OSGT-CODE, OSGT-ASSOC, NATIVE-CORP, BUILDING -Removed internal polygons without values
DATA LINEAGE SUMMARY:
The dataset was downloaded in shapefile format by the GeoPlan Center in 2002 from the National Atlas website: www.nationalatlas.gov. When received, data was in Geographic projection, Datum: NAD83, Spheroid: GRS1980, Units: Meters. The data was reprojected to FGDL Albers HPGN and the geographic extent was clipped to the State of Florida. Internal coverage items were dropped, internal polygons were deleted, fields without values were removed, all character items were upcased, and the DESCRIPT item was added based on CNTYNAME. The dataset's prior history from United States Department of the Interior, Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA), Geographic Data Service Center (GDSC) is as follows: The Indian Lands and Native Entities in Florida dataset was compiled using USGS 7.5' quadrangle maps (1:24,000), Bureau of Census 1995 TIGER data sets (1:100,000), BIA Pacific Regional Office coverages (1:24,000 ) and the GDSC-developed Land Title Mapper (LTM) (1:24,000).
