Our Work
Co-creating bright digital futures for First Nations communities by enabling digital equity and transformation.
Who We Are
We are an Indigenous-led, innovative non-profit serving all First Nations across BC. Our organization is guided by a board of directors who represent First Nations throughout the province. Our work is led by a team of Indigenous professionals and aspiring allies who specialize in education, engagement, thought and policy leadership, and research.
What We Do
Mandated by First Nations leadership in British Columbia, we work to advance digital literacy, improve internet connectivity, and provide guidance on data and digital technology for all 204 First Nations across the province.
Why We Do It
Today, technology weaves through nearly every aspect of our lives from work to education; culture and health; environmental stewardship; rights implementation; and more. Since time immemorial, our peoples used and advanced technology, but colonialism, and the systemic barriers it creates, excluded us from equitably participating and leading in the evolution of current technology. That’s why we’re working to weave Indigenous knowledge, culture, and ways of being into technology.
