Advisory Boards

To ensure we always act right-ways, we are establishing Advisory Boards that bring together the voices of our youth, Elders, technical specialists and community leaders.

These groups will provide the cultural guidance and technical wisdom needed to keep our digital tools safe, sovereign and deeply aligned with community values.

By centering these diverse perspectives, we guarantee that the digital future we are building remains grounded in the strength of our past.
