We are allies to Indigenous communities & conservation efforts that protect our planet's precious resources for future generations.
The Tintra Foundation aims to preserve Indigenous Wisdom and highlight it’s value, safeguarding Indigenous Peoples' ways of life from extinction.
We want to help:
Unify the efforts of Indigenous actors and activists, to amplify awareness of the threats Indigenous Peoples face, the support they need, and the solutions their knowledge provides.
Drastically increase the rate at which Indigenous Wisdom is being documented, safeguarded, and shared.
Help the rest of humanity see the world through the eyes of Indigenous Peoples to connect to each other and develop a profound respect for all life on Earth.
Through our initiatives, The Tintra Foundation seeks to uplift and protect Indigenous Peoples and their knowledge, ensuring their cultural survival. We also actively promote Indigenous-led conservation efforts and voices at the global stage. By prioritising these goals, we endeavour to create a world that values diversity, preserves ancestral wisdom, and enable Indigenous communities to play a pivotal role in shaping a more sustainable and equitable future and being recognised for their contributions.
A sustainable future cannot exist without Indigenous Wisdom.
Preserving Indigenous Knowledge is of paramount importance, as it holds significant value in a multitude of domains.
Our technology supports and enables Indigenous Peoples direct engagement, encouraging global recognition of their understandings and practices. By harnessing the potential of Artificial Intelligence to collect, collate and present Indigenous Knowledge in an open and accessible way, we accelerate the preservation of knowledge. We use innovative approaches and standards that honour tradition and adapt to the evolving needs of Indigenous communities around the world. We achieve these goals by fostering a global community of thought leaders, academics, and advocates dedicated to supporting Indigenous communities. We use unique cutting-edge technology, approaches, and ideas to guide and enrich our cause and share our passion and determination.
As part of our commitment to giving back, we actively offer support for Indigenous-led conservation activities and in the preservation of culture, knowledge and language. By collaborating with local NGOs, we address the barriers that hinder Indigenous Peoples from autonomously preserving their knowledge, such as threats to land rights, forced assimilation, the digital divide, and climate change. Our machine learning technology will play a pivotal role in creating a Living Library of Indigenous Wisdom, serving as a resource to enlighten people worldwide.
We work with Indigenous Peoples and communities to create understanding of and preserve thousands of years of history before it is lost forever. Our aim is to enable Indigenous communities to maintain their ways of living and protect their cultural heritage.
