Resource Management

Wildland Fire Management
The Natural Resources Fire Program, in conjunction with the BIA Forestry Division, provides for the suppression of wildland fires on, or a threat to, Tribal lands and surrounding resource values.
The program also provides for hazardous fuels reduction and wildland rehabilitation work. Effective wildland fire management allows the Nation to promote increased public safety and lessen our forest/timber resource losses, all while affording more protection to personal property.

GeoData Center
The Cherokee Nation GeoData Center creates and maintains spatial data to aid in planning and decision making across a number of tribal departments. A number of government functions are associated with managing information about locations or geographic areas; Geographic Information Systems (GIS) are used to enter, edit, store, update, manage, and analyze geographic data. The GeoData Center supports applications such as address checking, community planning, census analysis, economic development, health analysis, and tribal resource allotment. We also offer mapping services to Cherokee Nation citizens.
