      • Native Land Digital is a Canadian non-profit website and mobile app that has created a searchable global map of Indigenous territories, languages, and treaties. The website, Native-Land.ca, was created in 2015 by Victor Temprano and incorporated as a non-profit in 2018. As of 2023, Tanya Ruka (a Māori Indigenous artist and designer) is the executive director.


      Mission


      Native Land Digital states that its mission is as follows:Native Land Digital strives to create and foster conversations about the history of colonialism, Indigenous ways of knowing, and settler-Indigenous relations, through educational resources such as our map and Territory Acknowledgement Guide. We strive to go beyond old ways of talking about Indigenous people and to develop a platform where Indigenous communities can represent themselves and their histories on their own terms. In doing so, Native Land Digital creates spaces where non-Indigenous people can be invited and challenged to learn more about the lands they inhabit, the history of those lands, and how to actively be part of a better future going forward together.


      Functionality


      Native Land Digital users can browse the map, or search their city, state, or ZIP code to see which Indigenous communities originally resided in those areas. Each Indigenous nation listed includes links to related readings.
      The website is built on MapBox and WordPress.
