Know who to talk to — and exactly where every fact came from.

Search any location in Canada to see registered reserves and First Nations nearby — band office contact, governance and population data, Indigenous language data, and every consultation reference on file, each one tagged with its own government source. Free to search, free to export one Nation at a time. A paid account bundles a whole search radius into one sourced document, with API access for your own tools — or an MCP server for plugging Groundwork straight into Claude, ChatGPT, or any other MCP-compatible AI assistant.

This is not a legal determination of Aboriginal rights, title, or treaty boundaries. Reserve proximity does not indicate territorial jurisdiction — every response links back to ATRIS (Canada's own consultation-obligation tool) for that determination.

Free vs. paid

The same sourced facts. What changes is the scale.

No public government fact about any single Nation is ever paywalled — the free tier already covers every Nation, individually, in full.

For First Nations

Nothing is added or shown without your say.

Every Nation starts with public government records only. Claiming your profile lets you add or confirm band contact details, economic development priorities, and current initiatives — reviewed by a person, not automatic. You can opt out at any time, reverting to baseline records, with no need to explain why.
