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

Previously, on a different Android device (Samsung S10+), this app worked perfectly for me. Currently I am using a Google Pixel 8 Pro Android, and the app information does not seem to be displaying properly. Not sure if it's because this is a more recent app version, or if it's the version of Android OS I am currently using, but there seems to be some sort of bug for displaying results in all categories (Territories, Languages, Treaties, all with Colours and/or Labels toggled both On and Off).

I spent almost 3 days trying to search for the information that I was able to find in a couple minutes using this app. I imagine it is the most accurate and easiest tool available to people to see the very simple fact. You are on stolen land. From who, when, and how can you show respect to those offenses? Thank you to the developers for this vital tool. I will be recommending it to everyone.

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!
