Into the Driver's Seat

Imagine Google Maps, Wikipedia, Pokémon Go and a Canadian Heritage Minute, all rolled into one.

Now, imagine it all on your smartphone. 

The app in question is called Wikiupedia. It's the brainchild of Adrian Duke, a tech entrepreneur who comes from the Muscowpetung First Nation in Saskatchewan. He imagines it as a powerful tool for sharing and preserving Indigenous history, by crowd-sourcing stories from across Canada.

The app is currently in beta testing. Duke hopes it will be available in app stores this summer.
