Project Team Onboarding

Before you continue
Protektant allows verified Businesses and project teams to prepare a Project before approaching a participating Indigenous Nation. You may create the canonical Project, draw or import its footprint, upload supporting materials, and prepare it for a governed engagement request and Nation review.
Creating an account or Project does not create Nation acceptance, consultation adequacy, Project approval, package authority, access to protected knowledge, or any right to receive Nation-controlled information. Business-supplied maps and materials remain candidate records until Nation review.
The duty to consult is a Crown obligation. Protektant does not determine adequacy or outcomes, and does not provide legal advice.
Jurisdiction-specific obligations vary; Protektant supports documentation and governance workflows.
This is a Project-intake path, not a subscription, billing, bank-setup, payment, or Indigenous Knowledge access pathway.
  1. Review and acknowledge the User Agreement & Notices - required before continuing.
  2. Sign in with Protektant ID - create an account or sign in. You may be asked to verify your email.
  3. Confirm the agreement - confirm the current agreement after sign in.
  4. Create the Business profile - provide verified organization and administrative-contact information.
  5. Create the Project - name the Project and describe the proposed work.
  6. Prepare the intake - map the Project, add supporting materials, and prepare it for submission to a participating Nation.
