Using either the mobile app or the desktop website, users can input their address or click on a specific area of the country and find links to educational materials that can help them learn about specific Indigenous Nations and their languages, treaties, culture and history. "[The map] is supporting Indigenous peoples as they take back the narrative, and have both the ability and the platform to be able to share their stories," McRae added."In doing so, we're able to know a truer history of the place that we live in."
