The Community KnowledgeKeeper (CKK) is a user-friendly mapping, data management, and integrated consultation tracking and response system. The CKK manages the diverse and often overwhelming number of records created through research and consultation processes. It is unique in that it provides instant desktop analysis of the potential impacts of industrial development on traditional land use, species habitats, and any other areas of importance to a community. This fully customizable consultation tracking and management system is configured to suit and support the specific needs and consultation processes of each community. The CKK also provides a comprehensive digital community archive for documents, photographs, audio, and video files.
Kwusen offers CKK subscription packages that include the hosting of a unique version of the software, maintenance, on-site training, and remote support. The development of the CKK has been, and continues to be, funded by a network of communities across Canada who see benefit in supporting each other at a technical level in the revitalization and protection of their cultural heritage, rights, and territories. This collaborative model provides for continuous improvements to the CKK through both user input and funding, with updates provided every 2-4 weeks.
