late edit: DISCLAIMER: The pictured map is not actually a representation of the territories before colonisation. It's a hypothetical map of what countries there might have been had the continent not been colonised, thus all the names and borders are fictional and have never existed.

For good actual maps, check out native-land.ca.

We are literally building a website right now, but in the meantime people are still fucking dying out there. Last year one elder on the rez was burning his own clothes to keep warm

In the meantime these are tools immediately available to us to reach large numbers of people and building a website and hosting it also costs money.

Right now our focus is getting folks through the winter and then come spring starting construction on new housing and the community center. We have the land and the people to do the work we just need to pay for it. And this will pave the way for more projects in the future such as a youth survival school, community gardens as a push toward food sovereignty, and a buffalo pasture so that they don't have to go pay a white rancher a fee to hunt them. This will also bolster conservation and repopulation efforts regarding buffalo.

Also we should have a 501c3 set up by the end of the year to lay your skepticism to rest.

Apologies for the hostility but, like, this is an actual life or death situation and I gave you the links to what we have publicly available so far.
