You bring the question. We’ve got the data.

KnowledgeKeepr holds the deepest verified records on all 638 First Nations — 798,198 data points across governance, finance, legal, lands, and media. In a matter of hours, our research team turns that data into the report, benchmark, or presentation you need.

How it fits

The platform gives you every Nation in fine detail. We draw the connections.

Explore any First Nation in fine detail on the platform. Our services bring the data together — drawing in-depth comparisons across dozens of factors, and surfacing information no one else could find.

You get the answer. Written, sourced, and ready to act on.
Research reports

Standardized intelligence on any Nation or region

Three reports, produced by our research team from the full record. Each can be commissioned on its own or delivered as a live presentation.

Business Intelligence Report

A Nation’s economic picture — enterprises, assets, financial position, and the partnerships and risks that come with them.

Annual subscribers

Three reports a year come with your annual KnowledgeKeepr subscription — any mix of the three, at no extra cost. It’s part of your existing plan, not a separate one. Additional reports are 50% of the listed rate, and anyone can commission a report standalone.

Presentations

The findings, delivered in the room

Any report can be presented to your board or council — and we build presentations around a specific question.

Report presentation

A live walkthrough of any report — the findings, what they mean, and the questions they raise.

Bespoke intelligence

The questions no one else can answer

The standard reports cover the common needs. When yours isn’t standard, we draw on the full database to build the exact comparison, deep dive, or analysis you need.

How we work

The standard behind every piece.

Public record only

Built from verified public sources — audited statements, court records, bylaws, and published media. No traditional or cultural knowledge. OCAP-aligned.

Comparative by design

No figure stands alone. Every number sits against a peer set, so you see how a Nation compares, not just what it reports.

Written for the decision

Not an automated export — each piece is shaped around the call you’re making.

Who it’s for

Built for anyone who has to make a call about a First Nation.

First Nations & Tribal Councils

Benchmark against peers, modernize bylaws, and bring evidence to your own planning and negotiations.

Industry & Proponents

Understand a Nation before you engage — governance, finances, and the record in one brief.

Government & Public Sector

Comparative analysis for policy, program design, and funding decisions.

Legal & Advisory Teams

Comparative legal and governance research, drawn from the public record.

Who delivers it

A research team, led by the people who built the record.
