OIATC program

Anokii: sovereign community infrastructure

Community platforms built on Waaseyaa and designed to be Nation-governed, where governance and access control are structural rather than bolted on. Communities are vantage points on one shared map, not silos.

Anokii is designed to give a Nation a grounded, cited assistant and a resource map it governs itself, on infrastructure under community control, so a Nation's data stays home. The two vantages running today are OIATC-run demonstrations of what that looks like, seeded from public information; no Nation governs them yet. The framework underneath is built to record consent as data and keep an audit trail of every access and change.

The thinking behind this program is set out in OIATC's position on AI sovereignty, when a foreign order can switch off your AI: the model is the swappable layer, and the data and infrastructure a community owns are the parts that confer sovereignty.

The work, by stage

Prototype The Anokii instance · one shared map, per-community vantages, OIATC-run
Prototype Sagamok vantage · a demonstration built from public information, not Sagamok's official platform
Prototype Massey vantage · the solar project in local context, from public information
Live Where your data lives · why sovereign infrastructure matters

The fundable next step

Two OIATC-run reference vantages are running. The next step is regional coverage along the North Shore, from Sault Ste. Marie to Sudbury to Manitoulin, so more Nations have a community-governed platform instead of a vendor-run one. This is the Northern Ontario technology-capacity story, and it scales one vantage at a time.

Regional rollout

Funding extends Anokii to more North Shore communities, each governing its own instance. Costs scale per community; the design and the framework are already built.
