Our Makwa7 team is honoured to be attending and sharing a case management success story at the Loving Justice Conference 2026 that highlights what is possible when technology is designed around the needs of the community and the child and family services department.

Makwa7 works alongside communities to strengthen information management, support effective case management, and create a more secure foundation for the families and children they serve.

This is more than a technology story. It is a story about listening to community and department needs, collaboration, information governance, and building solutions that put communities in control of their information.

We look forward to connecting, sharing, and learning alongside others working toward loving justice.

Interested in learning more? We would be happy to connect.

If disaster struck your Nation today would your critical information, records, and knowledge still be safe and accessible?

Wildfires, floods, and emergencies are becoming more frequent and more severe.

At Makwa7, we work with Nations to ensure their information is secure, backed up, and under their control so they can continue to lead and make decisions even in times of crisis.

Reach out today to learn how we can support your Nation’s data resilience and sovereignty.

One thing we have learned at Makwa7 is:

𝐓𝐞𝐜𝐡𝐧𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐲 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤𝐬 𝐛𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐫𝐞𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩𝐬 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐟𝐢𝐫𝐬𝐭.

Every community and organization has unique priorities, histories, and ways of working. That is why meaningful conversations matter just as much as the technology itself.

We are grateful for the opportunity to connect with organizations doing important work across First Nation communities and beyond.

We look forward to continuing to build meaningful relationships and supporting communities on their digital transformation journeys.

GIS is no longer just about maps.

Today, First Nations and organizations can use spatial technology to support land stewardship, infrastructure management, emergency planning, economic development, and data sovereignty.

In fact, ArcGIS technology is used by 80% of the world’s largest cities and 70% of the largest global companies.

The future of community planning is data-driven, location-aware, and community-led.

Want to see what’s possible? Let’s connect.

Most Nations and Organizations are not and do not even realize it.

🔐 Here's a quick Data Sovereignty check:

✅ Do you know where all your data is stored?
✅ Is your data owned and controlled by your Nation or Organization?
✅ Do you have clear data governance policies in place?
✅ Can departments securely share information when needed?
✅ Is your data protected, backed up, and access controlled?
✅ Can leadership access real-time data for decision-making?

If you answered “no” or “unsure” to any of these you are not alone.

Building true data sovereignty is a journey, and it starts with understanding where you are today.

Start your Data Sovereignty journey today with Makwa7!
