Digital First Nations

Digital First Nations refers to Indigenous communities integrating digital technology into their cultures, governance, and economic development in ways that prioritize Indigenous values and sovereignty. This approach empowers Indigenous peoples to use digital tools—such as online platforms, social media, and digital infrastructure—to preserve languages, share stories, access services, and create economic opportunities, all while maintaining control over their digital presence. It aims to enhance community connectivity, strengthen cultural identity, and build self-determined futures, ensuring that technology serves Indigenous goals rather than replacing or undermining their traditions and sovereignty.
