How the System Works
Think of this system like a set of useful apps that all connect together on a private network.
Each app has a specific purpose, but all share a common data source at the center.

Some useful apps include:
  • Band Office
    For access to band office services and information.
  • Bulletin Board
    For posting and viewing community announcements.
  • Event Manager
    For managing community events and traditional land use programs.
  • Public Alerts
    Quick access to public safety information and alerts.
Data Ownership and Privacy
Data Privacy
Critical data is securely stored locally with a private and encrypted link to a cloud server.
TCN has full control of it's data and access.
Communication Channels
To reach members quickly and reliably, the system will support:
  • Text Messages (SMS)
    For urgent alerts or direct contacts.
  • Email Notifications
    For more detailed news and updates.
  • Push Notifications
    Quick alerts to your phone or device if you have the app.
TCN Member
This means no matter how you prefer to stay connected, we have a way to reach you.
The Heart of the System: TCN Member Database
At the center is a secure database that holds basic information about every TCN member.
Central Member Database
This is carefully managed by TCN staff and will allow us to:
  • Keep contact information up to date
  • Better organize community programs
  • Provide quick support in emergencies
  • Give members access to digital services
Fast & Easy Identification
Every registered TCN member is assigned a Digital ID in the form of a barcode.
TCN Barcode
It can be downloaded to your mobile device, or printed on a card.
Phone App View
Here's why it's useful:
  • In urgent situations (like forest fire evacuations), scanning a barcode can give quicker check-ins, fewer errors, and faster access to emergency support.
  • It gives members a simple way to identify themselves for community services, health programs, recreation events, and more.
Barcode Scanned
Once the system is set up, we can use it for many purposes, such as:
  • Community Services Management
  • Emergency Preparedness
  • Health Information and Outreach
  • Recreation and Event planning
  • Public Utilities Coordination
  • Traditional Land Use Programs
The Registration Process
System is now live and can accept account activations. Here's how it works:
  • TCN admin has entered each member into the Master database.
  • Each TCN member has been assigned a unique barcode ID.
  • You must be 18 years of age, or older to activate your account.
  • To activate your account, you enter your treaty number and birth date.

    The 10 digit teaty number and date must match exactly or account activation process will be terminated.
  • When you have a match, just follow the setup instructions to activate your account.
TCN Group
Once claimed, your account is securely locked to you.
When using this app on a mobile phone, you can use your phone's fingerprint authentication feature to log into your account.
Registered TCN members will then have access to the network and services.
