We love when our visitors share wonderful things with us so we can then pass them on to you. We recently had the pleasure of talking with a wonderful young woman who told us about the Native Land Project done by Native Land Digital.
Native Land Digital is a registered Canadian not-for-profit and a British Columbia Society. It is designed to be Indigenous-led, with an Indigenous Board of Directors who oversee and direct the organization. Numerous non-Indigenous people also contribute by being on our Advisory Council. The Board of Directors runs finances, sets priorities, and appoints staff members as required.
Native Land was created in 2015 by Victor Temprano, a settler hailing from Okanagan territory. You can see a biography and the old About page here to learn more about the roots of the project.
There is a website at http://native-land.ca as well as a mobile app available at https://native-land.ca/mobile-app/ !
This project is still in the works and they’re still looking for contributors! If you are knowledgable in Native language territory, tribal territory, treaties, or geography…consider going to their website HERE and giving a helping hand!
