Blockchain for Indigenous Rights International (BIRI) Details
While the modern economy is increasingly technology driven, an "innovation divide" is emerging that threatens to leave many of Canada's Indigenous communities behind. Managed properly, however, new technologies could help bring them into the 21st-century economy. Blockchain, for example, has tremendous potential to build inclusive, trusting, consensus-based relationships between Indigenous Peoples, governments and the private sector.Blockchain for Indigenous Rights International (BIRI) is a GuildOne-spearheaded not for profit that is researching and applying the profound potential of blockchain technologies to encode and effect Indigenous entitlements related to land use issues in Canada and globally. It will provide a platform for Indigenous groups, industry and government in Canada to transact in transparency and good faith, ensuring that communities receive their full entitlements quickly and efficiently. It will also provide blockchain skills development for Indigenous youth and women to prepare them for high-quality jobs.This will create transformative benefits for Indigenous communities and their members, removing major points of friction between them, governments and industry. It could also create a new model for relationships between Indigenous and non-Indigenous groups in Canada, as called for by the 1996 Commission on the Status of Aboriginal Peoples in Canada, the Truth and Reconciliation Commission's findings and the new governance framework proposed by Prime Minister Trudeau in February 2018.
