About

First Nations Voice

Features
Read full description

First Nations Voice is a continental atlas of nearly 1,500 Indigenous Nations and communities, with a source cited on every record, and a private learning space that never leaves your device. There are no accounts, no uploads and no network requests. What you learn, record and preserve stays on your iPhone or iPad, under your control, for as long as you want it there. Start with the Word of the Day: a phonetic respelling, plain meaning, and the language, Nation and dialect it comes from, with an optional local reminder if you want daily practice. Move into six-stage guided learning paths, with lessons, vocabulary and progress tracking that builds steadily instead of overwhelming you. Pronunciation practice lets you listen at normal or slow speed, record your own attempt, and compare the two honestly. The Atlas covers the United States, Canada, Alaska and Mexico, with clustering and typo-tolerant search by Nation, alternate name, language or region. Every entry states its entity type, region, source, last-checked date, and whether it is community-verified or general reference. Nothing is invented, and nothing is presented as more certain than it is. The Archive holds oral history, place names, seasonal knowledge and community listings, each with provenance and access terms clearly stated. Elder Legacy tools give families a private shelf for preservation, built around a recorded consent chain and the right to withdraw at any time. Export your own record as a typeset PDF, plain text or portable backup, and delete everything permanently whenever you choose. All of it works offline, and all of it is free to do. First Nations Voice is free to download with a limited preview. Full access requires a Learner or Preservation membership, with a 7-day free trial for eligible new subscribers. Membership is auto-renewing and is billed by Apple; cancel any time in your Apple Account subscription settings.
