About this app

Explore Indigenous territories, treaties, languages and communities with Whose Land.

Use the interactive map, or search for a place, a Nation, a Canadian postal code or a US ZIP code, to learn about the land around you. Tap anywhere on the map to see every territory, treaty and language at that spot. Browse community information, Indigenous businesses, residential and boarding school locations, leadership stories and territories by city.

Learn through educational videos, frequently asked questions and lesson plans. Explore land acknowledgement resources, write a personal draft that stays on your device, and share it with others.

Built natively for Android phones and tablets, with English and French interfaces, dynamic colour, dark mode, and accessible text and controls. Recently accessed content is cached for reuse; an internet connection is needed for content that has not been saved and for online media.

Whose Land is an educational starting point for learning, dialogue and further research. Mapped areas are approximations and do not represent definitive or legal boundaries. Data sources and credits are available in the app.
