Consultation workflow, heritage archive, and maps — for Indigenous consultation and traditional land use.
LOUIS Lands (Planner + Heritage + Finance + Spatial) keeps proposed developments, consultation files, and spatial context in one place your team can find and defend.
Most organizations start with Planner for intake and deadlines on a community-defined workflow, including site visits in LOUIS Field. Heritage adds the traditional land use and knowledge archive — the recording, the words, and the map if they used one.
Planner, Heritage, Spatial, and Finance work together in LOUIS Lands — consultation, the heritage archive, maps, and costs in one system.
Log referrals from government and industry, with the deadline, the status, and a record from intake through the reply. The steps that file follows are a workflow the community sets.
See where a proposal crosses features of community interest, using the knowledge the community already holds. Footprints build up over time, and follow-ups go back to assess impacts or verify what was promised.
Staff time, program expenses, and the fees you recover are recorded on the referral. Where Finance is connected, those amounts reach the general ledger, which stays authoritative.
Traditional use sites, ecological knowledge, and cultural sites are captured on the map. They stay tied to the interview they came from, and the full context is available to your team during consultation.
Store interviews, documents, photos, and recordings in a community-controlled archive — with access rules aligned to OCAP® (Ownership, Control, Access, and Possession) principles.
Staff you assign can make maps and run analysis on data the community has loaded or linked. LOUIS Field can be used to add new field data for surveys and field programs — GPS, geotagged photos, and offline collection that syncs when the signal returns.
Referrals run from intake to the reply on a workflow the community sets, including site visits in LOUIS Field and a record leadership can defend. Cumulative impact classifies each footprint by activity, time, and proponent, and follow-ups assess impacts or verify what was promised.
Planner →The recording, the words, and the map if they used one stay together, under your community’s rules. On a referral you can show the type, or the written detail, as much as you choose.
Heritage →Staff you assign can make maps and run analysis on data the community has loaded or linked. In LOUIS Field they add new field data to community layers, for the surveys and field programs the community runs.
Spatial →Staff time, program expenses, and fees sit on the referral they belong to. Finance tools connect where they are configured, and your general ledger stays authoritative.
Finance →Consultation records, traditional knowledge, and map layers belong to your community. LOUIS is built so you retain ownership and control — including OCAP® principles — with data hosted in Canada. See also our Indigenous Lands page.
