No public government fact about any single Nation is ever paywalled — search, browse, and export one Nation at a time for free, no account needed. A paid account is for anyone who needs that same sourced picture bundled across many Nations at once: companies doing their own due diligence, and consultants, lawyers, and analysts preparing assessments for someone else.

One key unlocks every non-admin endpoint — locate, Nation profiles and provenance, consultation references, and more — so you can query and assemble the source data however your own tools need it, not just pull the pre-built report. The bundled report below is the fastest path if that's genuinely all you need: one plain HTTPS call, the same one the "Download PDF" button on Locate makes behind the scenes. Prefer an AI assistant to a script? The same full access is also available as an MCP server — point Claude, ChatGPT, or any other MCP-compatible client at it with the same credential, including to build a chatbot of your own over the data.

Manually piecing this together — band contact, governance, consultation history, language data, current priorities — across even a handful of Nations means hours of separate lookups across separate government sites, and the usual alternative is a consultant or law firm, where a single Indigenous impact assessment can run tens of thousands of dollars. Groundwork doesn't replace that expertise, but for the research and citation-gathering underneath it, unlimited bundled reports for less than the cost of one hour of consulting time is the idea.
