Geospatial Portal “FACE”Interactive Website
• Start w/ a Website Link that displays information about:
Regions, Tribes, Agencies, Projects.
• Each Region would be responsible for the data content w/in
their region.
• All Data and Content would be sent to ONE content manager that
would be responsible for updating the data and maps.
• Representative Maps and Data of Regions, Agencies,
Reservations and Tribes would be readily available for Tribes and
authorized users.

National Geospatial Intelligence Agency (NGA)
• NGA’s Commercial Imagery Program - assists all Federal
branches, departments, agencies, and offices acquire and use
high-resolution imagery from U.S. data providers (Digital Globe,
GeoEye), often at no cost to the supported organization.
• Licensing - US Government (USG) may provide the imagery to
Non-Government Organizations (NGO) when the NGO is working with the
USG in an official capacity.
