Explore Indigenous territories, treaties, languages and communities with Whose Land.
Use the interactive map, search for a place or Nation, or choose your current location to learn more about the land around you. 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, create a personal draft, and share information with others.
Whose Land 3.0 brings a redesigned native experience to iPhone and iPad, with English and French interfaces, dark mode, accessible text and controls, and faster search using saved place results and local postal-code data. 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.
I’m thankful to be able to learn about the aboriginal people. I’ve learned so much about them and their interesting cultures. I wish this information was around 30 + years ago and taught in schools. People need to know who we share this great land with and the importance of respecting them and their cultures.Keep up the wonderful work you have been doing with this app.

Thank you so much to the developers for creating this app! I am non-Indigenous but, as a performing artist, I always acknowledge the land and it’s first/rightful inhabitants at the start of every show I do. When I’m touring to a new location every night in a region far from my own this app is going to be so so helpful since it’s specifically for a mobile platform (as opposed to native-land.ca). Thank you!!! In a future update, would it be possible to provide some help for pronouncing the names of the traditional territories and nearby First Nations? This could really help people who are new to the region or just getting started with their learning and could help ensure they are respectful when connecting with folks from the local community or Friendship Centre.
Practically Useless

I had hoped to click on this app, have it use my location, and then have it display whose traditional lands I live on. It did not do that, so I tried searching by my city name—still nothing. Lastly, I tried typing in the name of the traditional people whose land I think that I live on—still nothing. I deleted the app.
Whose Land 3.1.1 adds support for iPhone Duo and refines the map experience on every device.
• iPhone Duo support: the map stays full screen as you open and close the device, keeping your place, selection and open details.
• The Explore panel now opens with search. Swipe down to tuck it away to just the search bar, then swipe up to pick up where you left off.
• Map controls use standard iOS toolbars and stay clear of the panel in portrait and landscape.
• The map opens on an overview of Canada.
• Places you select from search stay in view as the panel moves.
• Shared links now use whose.land.
• A refreshed turtle logo and better readability in dark mode.
