The knowledge and wisdom of indigenous heroes around the world is largely unknown. Concurrently, wider humanity is at a crossroads, wondering where it came from and searching for a path forward. Where and how? This reality begs for a convening platform, a meeting place. When? Clearly the time is now: the window for sharing to take place is closing, as people are seeking answers precisely at a time when native communities are disappearing rapidly due to the forces of globalization. The place and urgency for a solution is the genesis of The Answers Project.

The mission of The Answers Project is thus two-fold: to provide a platform for native communities to share their knowledge and wisdom while simultaneously inspiring millions of people globally to rapidly share these stories and support indigenous cultural resilience.

You cannot find a corner of this continent that does not contain ancient history, indigenous value and pre-colonial names and stories. And each place we occupied was once the homeland of other people, most of whom did not leave voluntarily.

On the website and in the app, you can enter the zip code or name of any city. The interactive map expands your query, color-codes it, and extracts data on indigenous history, the original language, and tribal ties to the area.
