Native Land map
Business Profile
Core Value Proposition
Native Land provides an interactive map and educational resources for mapping Indigenous territories, treaties, and languages, with free data access via GeoJSON and an API.
Target Customer
Educators and students (classroom and school settings), researchers and GIS professionals, Indigenous communities seeking to share their territories and languages, and members of the public interested in learning about Indigenous lands.
Key Differentiator
Indigenous-led organization with a strong emphasis on Indigenous data sovereignty and self-determination; a living, community-informed map that centers Indigenous voices and knowledge; not a legal boundary, with built-in mechanisms for community feedback and corrections; offers a free API and open map data.
Implementation Timeline
Not explicitly stated for implementation timelines; the map and tools are described as ongoing, with updates and community-driven improvements over time (e.g., “moving forward slowly” and plans to highlight nations with consent on nation pages).
Pain Points

- 2Educational resources are needed to teach about land, rights, and Indigenous perspectives in a respectful, non-colonial way.
- 3Access to open, shareable data and tools (GeoJSONs, API) for mapping, research, and classroom use is limited or fragmented.
