The only digital future rooted in tradition
Nadlii (Nag-dlee): Rebirth or to be reborn
Nadlii is helping to create Indigenous data sovereignty and data governance capabilities in a rapidly evolving technological world. Born of the teachings of respect, relationship, and reciprocity, Nadlii empowers Indigenous peoples to define, control and govern how their data and AI systems operate.
By integrating Indigenous values into modern digital frameworks, Nadlii provides policy leadership, training, and certification for ethical AI and Indigenous data governance.
Indigenous Data Sovereignty in the Digital AI Era
In today’s AI-driven world, data sovereignty is essential to Indigenous self-determination. Artificial intelligence and digital systems increasingly shape governance, economies, and decision-making. Without clear policies and governance structures, Indigenous knowledge and digital assets risk being extracted, misinterpreted and used without consent.
Nadlii works to set the gold standard for Indigenous data policy, ensuring Indigenous peoples have the legal, ethical, and technological frameworks needed to govern their data, define AI ethics, and secure long-term economic and cultural benefits in the digital age.
Who We Are
Nadlii is a non-profit organization dedicated to Indigenous data sovereignty, policy leadership, and ethical AI governance. Led by Indigenous and non-Indigenous experts, former Chiefs, legal advisors, scientists, and social entrepreneurs, we develop frameworks that enable Indigenous peoples to lead in the digital era.
What We Do & How We Help
Indigenous Data Policies & Governance
Policies
Develop and promote Indigenous-led data policies delivering compliance with data sovereignty principles and legal frameworks.

Assist Indigenous and non-Indigenous groups to implement and manage data policies and governance protocols.

AI & Modern Treaty Innovation
Agreements and treaties shape the foundation for Indigenous governance, sovereignty, and rights. Yet, navigating these complex documents and their long-term implementation remains a challenge. Nadlii is integrating AI with modern treaties and agreements to ensure they are accessible, actionable, and aligned with their original spirit and intent.
Our AI-powered innovation systems, including the UFA Reader, provide centralized access to key agreements such as the Yukon Umbrella Final Agreement, unraveling legal complexity and fostering greater understanding. By transforming thousands of reports and agreements into interactive, intelligent knowledge hubs, we empower Indigenous nations to lead treaty implementation for the next 50 years.
