About this app

Welcome to the Native Land app by Native Land Digital!

We strive to map Indigenous lands in a way that changes, challenges, and improves the way people see the history of their countries and peoples. We hope to strengthen the spiritual bonds that people have with the land, its people, and its meaning.

We strive to map Indigenous territories, treaties, and languages across the world in a way that goes beyond colonial ways of thinking in order to better represent how Indigenous people want to see themselves.

We provide educational resources to correct the way that people speak about colonialism and indigeneity, and to encourage territory awareness in everyday speech and action.

This project is a work in progress, and it's not meant to be a legal or academic resource. To learn about definitive boundaries, contact the nations in question.

Please send us fixes if you find errors.

Ratings and reviews

The idea of this is great. Execution could use some work. I'm on a Note 10+ and the top search bar is so far up that I trigger my drop down menu. I have to precisely touch the bottom of the search if I want to enter information. Maps should be loaded at any view not just when you enter an address. As a feature suggestion, there should be an easy way to share a map through social or messaging natively as oppose to screenshots. If those things would be modified and working flawlessly - 5 stars!

Gave it a 3 because the idea is stupendous. I am intrigued by it so much and want to learn more. However, the functionality of the app is horrendous. It won't let me pan the map, search for land, OR move between the map, resources, and other tab. It needs some techie help.

** Updated- the changes made to the app makes navigation much easier and app no longer freezes! Love the updates! It's an excellent concept and had potential to be an incredible resource but navigation could use some work and it freezes a lot. It would be amazing if you could see all the overlays on the map at once. Overall I really appreciate that there is an app like this available (and I wish you the best with any improvements you plan to make) and I would definitely still recommend!
