Join Us in Building a Stronger Digital Future for Indigenous Peoples
At OneFeather, we build digital tools that support the rights and needs of Indigenous communities across Canada. Since 2014, we've helped First Nations and Métis communities run elections and other voting events. In 2021, we launched a successful online Status Card Renewal platform.

We're committed to community impact, long-term partnerships, and creating value that lasts for generations.
