A portal that enables Indigenous peoples and communities to connect with one another, and to discover or showcase what already exists and what is being created within their communities every day.
Visitors know they will see exclusively Indigenous profiles, while also having the opportunity to view separate profiles of respectful allies and supporters.
What Native Presence does
It also helps visitors begin in one place instead of searching Nation by Nation, community by community, artist by artist, or organization by organization.
Indigenous profiles
Visitors see profiles centered on Indigenous peoples and communities.
Connect the fragments
Scattered public presence becomes easier to find in one starting place.
Discover or showcase
People can discover what exists and showcase what is being created within communities.
Separate ally profiles
Allies and supporters can be viewed in a separate space, without mixing the Indigenous profile space.
Respectful Engagement
Native Presence does not give permission to copy, use, pressure, or request unpaid work from anyone listed here. Artists, cultural workers, families, and community members keep ownership of their words, images, work, time, and cultural knowledge.
Before contacting someone, come with a clear purpose, respectful language, and recognition of their time, work, and rights.
You own your data. You can request correction or deletion of your profile at any time.
