What's New in Whose Land

3.1.1

November 4, 2026

Whose Land 3.1.1 adds support for iPhone Duo and refines the map experience on every device. • iPhone Duo support: the map stays full screen as you open and close the device, keeping your place, selection and open details. • The Explore panel now opens with search. Swipe down to tuck it away to just the search bar, then swipe up to pick up where you left off. • Map controls use standard iOS toolbars and stay clear of the panel in portrait and landscape. • The map opens on an overview of Canada. • Places you select from search stay in view as the panel moves. • Shared links now use whose.land. • A refreshed turtle logo and better readability in dark mode.

Great app for learning about First Nations

This map makes it much easier to learn about past land claims. Providing more context on history.

Has a section to support local indigenous businesses.

Thank You

Fantastic. Ten minutes in and I’ve learned more than I have in a long time, comprehensive and quality info at your fingertips
I did have to search online for pronunciations of some local bands as of course I was unaware that this part of the world had several overlapping histories, would be a bonus in the app

Missing a lot of information

App should have been a website. As a First Nations person I was curious. There is definitely much to be desired. Bare bare minimum information and my wife’s First Nation isn’t even on here.

Missing some nations

This app is a great idea, but… I live in southwest New Brunswick, Canada, which I know is the territory of the Passamaquoddy, territory that extends into Maine, USA. The Passamaquoddy aren’t listed in this app. I wouldn’t be surprised if there are other inaccuracies.

It’s great if you can find the right spot

It never gives the correct location. I’m in the Carolina’s. Whenever I say use my location, it gives me places in California?? But the information is very thorough and absolutely wonderful. I also tried the little google maps dude to drop on a location and it’s actually too precise. It’ll drop on a specific road when I’m just looking for a town. I’ll type the town into the search bar and get nothing it’s very confusing. But the information I do get is great!!
