Know who you're dealing with — before the first conversation.
Most of what you need on a First Nation is public — but scattered, out of date, and stripped of context. KnowledgeKeepr puts it all in one verified place, so you find the right people, understand the full picture, and engage from knowledge.
Every First Nation, in one searchable platform.
KnowledgeKeepr gives you a verified profile for all 638 First Nations — governance, financials, lands, legal, media and contacts, each drawn from the public record and reviewed by our research team. Search, filter and compare across every Nation from a single dashboard.
Walk in knowing what matters.
Six layers of verified intelligence on every Nation — each built to answer a question you'd otherwise spend weeks chasing.
Know who holds authority — and how to reach them.
Election systems, council composition, term lengths and self-government agreements, paired with verified contacts for leadership and administration — cross-referenced against the governance record and kept current.
Gauge a Nation's capacity — and catch the warning signs.
Audited statements, own-source revenue and surplus trends, read by AI for what they say about fiscal capacity. Spot the early warning signs in the numbers — and see who a Nation is already working with, from funders to development-corporation partners.
See the legal landscape before you step into it.
Registered bylaws, current court actions and AI litigation-pattern analysis across Federal, provincial and tribunal proceedings — alongside Crown consultation records, accommodation reports and assessments, classified by type.
Track the conversation as it moves.
Local, regional and national coverage with AI-extracted intelligence on partnerships, conflicts and community developments — organized by sentiment and subject, alongside each Nation's own publications and notices.
Map the jurisdiction you're working in.
Reserve boundaries, Land Code adoption status, land-governance frameworks and traditional territory information — with a GIS dashboard on the way to visualize territories and infrastructure across the country.
Show your work — every figure traces to its source.
Each record is drawn from the public record, source-cited and reviewed by our Indigenous research team, so the data isn't just current, it's contextually accurate. Early adopters get direct access to that team.

Verified intelligence, measured against AI.
We put a leading general AI model — live web access and all — up against KnowledgeKeepr’s verified data on all 638 First Nations. The findings are sobering. On the open-ended questions that actually decide a partnership — the current, material signals you wouldn’t know to ask for — it recovers just 58.3 of what KnowledgeKeepr surfaces, and as little as 50 on a full nation profile. Across the four factors it averages 62.2 against our verified standard of 100. Its highest score, 73.9%, arrives only when you already know the exact fact you need and ask for it outright — which is to say the model is at its most reliable precisely when you need it least.
Factual Accuracy is scored across 46 specific questions (31 correct · 6 partial · 4 incorrect · 5 refused · 2 hallucinations). The OSI (open-ended situational intelligence) test scores how many of the material signals KnowledgeKeepr surfaces a model actually finds; the overall OSI figure is the mean of the two full nation profiles shown. KnowledgeKeepr is the verified reference standard by construction; full method and grading in the report.
Behind the numbers, three failure modes recur — and each is the kind a partner could act on before noticing it was wrong:
Ranks by fame, not data
Asked for the ten richest nations by own-source revenue, only one of the model’s ten picks landed in the real top ten — it rated Whitecap 70–90% own-source when it is 23%, and 217th.
Misses the center of gravity
A full profile of Kahnawà:ke nailed the financial core but missed tobacco jurisdiction, the R v Montour (2023) ruling, and the adversarial Quebec relationship — 4 of 6 material signals.
Invents confident specifics
Asked for Six Nations of the Grand River’s external auditor, the model named “BDO Canada LLP” — confidently, with a year attached. The actual auditor is KPMG. A fabricated specific is worse than a blank: it reads as fact and survives straight into a memo.
A plan for every kind of user.

Things you might be wondering.
Why do First Nations members get free accounts?
KnowledgeKeepr exists to serve the communities at the heart of the data. First Nations members get free, lifetime access to their own Nation's full profile because the platform is built in service to them first — and because the people most invested in the accuracy of community information are the people who live it every day.
Where does KnowledgeKeepr's data come from?
Our data is aggregated from publicly available sources — Indigenous Services Canada, Crown-Indigenous Relations, provincial registries, court records, and Nation-published materials including band websites, council communications and audited financial statements. Every record carries an audit trail back to its source.
Who funded KnowledgeKeepr?
KnowledgeKeepr is an Indigenous-led project built with support from the Indigenous Venture Challenge fund and private investment from the Indigenext Accelerator. We are owned and operated independently, with editorial and product decisions made by our Indigenous founder and team.
How does KnowledgeKeepr respect Indigenous intellectual property?
We are deliberate about what we do and don't collect. KnowledgeKeepr only aggregates data from public bodies and public-facing sources — band councils, Indian Act governance structures, courts, audited public filings and media coverage. We do not gather data from traditional or hereditary governance structures, and we do not work with cultural knowledge of any kind. Our scope is administrative and legal — not cultural.
How is KnowledgeKeepr data validated?
Our data is under constant review. Every data point is reviewed by a human at least once per quarter, and our pipelines flag inconsistencies between sources for additional checks. Regional Indigenous experts audit Nation profiles within their region — providing local insight and additional context that complements the public-record foundation of the platform.
What if my Nation sees an error in our profile?
Contact us. We take corrections seriously and act on them quickly. Nations have every right to review what we publish about them, flag inaccuracies and request changes to anything that doesn't reflect current reality. Reach out through our contact page and we'll work with you directly.
Can I cancel or change my plan at any time?
Yes. Monthly Professional subscriptions can be cancelled any time and you'll retain access through the end of your billing period. Annual subscriptions can also be cancelled at any time.
