The public record on every Nation
Federal funding history and how a Nation compares with its peers, open programs and their deadlines, procurement, lobbying registrations, officials, treaties and the resolutions library. Free, for anyone — consultants, tribal council staff, a Chief's assistant, a member who wants to know where the money went.
A free account holds no Nation's own records. Those live inside that Nation's workspace and nowhere else.
One system instead of nine
Housing and rent, the members registry, lands, HR and payroll exports, finance, emergency management, consultation and referrals, governance and council packs, documents with retention — plus the Nation's public website generated from the same records, on its own domain.
Data stays in Canada. The Nation owns it and can export everything at any time.
No booked demo and no sales call — we read every request by hand, usually within a day.
