Data and AI technologies designed by, with, and for First Nations

Tsen'awt Labs is an Indigenous-led technology company founded on the belief that the tools available today were not built for this First Nations market, contexts, or values. We are changing that.

The value that guide us

Built With, Not For

Every line of Tsen'awt is co-designed with the communities we serve. Our pilot partners are co-founders, not customers.

Speed of Trust

We move fast on product. We move at the community's pace on relationship. The shortest path is the trusted one.

Generational Thinking

We design for the data your grandchildren will inherit. Durability over speed. Sovereignty over convenience. Decisions that age well.

Self-Determination in Practice

We build choice as a the foundation, not a principle. Easy to onboard, easy to leave, easy to take with you.

Open-Door Honesty

We tell users about the full market — competitors included — because informed customers make better decisions and longer relationships.

Founding Story

For nearly a decade,Tsenawt's founder, Ethan Clark, worked alongside First Nations on data governance, technology, and economic development.

Across every project, the same pattern repeated. First Nations making critical decisions on fragmented systems controlled by external vendors. Data held by consultancies, academic institutions, researchers, government agencies, and big tech. First Nations information extracted without compensation, monetized without permission, and used against the rights of the very communities it came from.

Tsen'awt was built to change that — sovereign by default, AI-native, co-designed with the communities it serves. The infrastructure First Nations have always deserved, finally built from the inside.
