For Tribal culture, language and heritage offices
The Nation’s data stays the Nation’s: read the one-page commitment → Sample case study: a year in a Tribal heritage office →

One place of work for your cultural and heritage office.

Language, collections, places, letters, consultations, projects, volunteers and grants, kept together in one private system the Nation controls. Built so a small office spends its time on culture, language and heritage, not on managing software.

What changes for your office
🧭
One place, instead of many tools
The parts of a collections system, a project tool, a volunteer system and a grants tracker that an office actually uses, in one login. No servers to run and no stack of separate subscriptions to buy, renew and keep track of.
✉️
Nothing lives in one person's inbox
Section 106 letters, agency requests, replies and decisions stay with the consultation, place or matter they belong to. When staff change, the office keeps its history, its procedures and its know-how.
📅
Every date in one morning list
Consultation replies, grant deadlines, site visits, project milestones, trainings running out and items due back, in one Today and this week list, each one assignable to a person.
💵
Funding made easier
Awards, the work done under them, staff time, program attendance and volunteer hours valued as in-kind match, drawn from records the office already keeps when the funder's report is due.
🤝
More hands for the work
Students, elders and community members volunteer on real projects, log their hours from a phone, and get the training and procedures they need. Elders can use a simpler screen with larger text.
⚖️
The Nation's data, under the Nation's rules
The Nation owns what it puts in, and ECO prepares a full export of it whenever the Nation asks. Its own protocols decide who sees what. No advertising, no data selling, and nothing used to train any outside system.
🚀
Ready on day one, with people behind it
It works out of the box from any browser or phone. The office brings its people and its records; data templates help load word lists, collections, stories and member lists. A responsive support team stands behind it.
🗒
Routine drafting off the desk
The optional Office assistant drafts email replies, minutes, consultation letters, grant reports and the monthly council report from the office’s own records. Its Grants assistant watches for funding that fits the Nation’s priorities and plans each application, its Consultation intake assistant gives agencies one link for consultation requests, the Council packet assistant prepares each meeting’s agenda, resolutions and follow-ups, the Site monitoring assistant turns field visits into reports for the office and its agency partners, and the Workforce assistant drafts job postings and TERO summaries. Staff approve every draft, and the office gets hours back each week for language and culture work.

What the Nation decides, part by part

Each part of the office below follows the same rule: ECO supplies the place to work, and the Nation decides what is recorded, who sees it and what is shared. The links open the page for each piece.

✉️ Letters and requests
Consultations, matters, correspondence and research requests, each kept with the record it concerns.
  • Letters and replies stay with the consultation or matter they belong to, so nothing lives in one person’s inbox.
  • A reply can be drawn from the office’s own standard responses. ECO supplies no wording.
  • Federal Register notices on consultations, comment periods and advisory seats are gathered for the office in its funding digest.
  • A research request shares nothing unless it is approved and inside its dates.
  • A word, item or place a member proposes joins the record only when the office accepts it.
  • The Office assistant only drafts. Staff approve, edit or discard every draft, it sees only what that staff member may see, and it stays off until the Org Admin turns it on.
Consultation Tracker · Matters and Letters · Entries for Approval · Loans and Research · Office Assistant
🧭 Places and field work
A private map of the Nation’s places, and a record of every visit to the places it monitors.
  • Each place is open, shown only as a general area, or seen only by the people the Nation names. Burial, ceremonial and monitored places start out protected.
  • A member who is not named for a protected place sees only that one exists in that part of the territory.
  • The map is drawn from the coordinates the Nation enters. No location goes to any outside mapping company.
  • Field visits record who went, what was found, and photos and video, ready to export for a partner agency.
  • Field, office and forestry roles are given by the Nation. Forestry reads and exports; it changes nothing.
  • The optional Site monitoring assistant drafts visit reports and partner reports; a partner report carries no coordinates, visitor names or findings text.
Tribal Atlas · Monitoring · Site Monitoring Assistant
🏛 Collection and museum
The catalog, oral histories, the registrar’s records, items coming home, and what visitors see.
  • Access is decided item by item by the Nation’s protocols, not by a public or private switch.
  • Restricted material is never deleted and never hidden as if it did not exist. A visitor who does not qualify is told it is held and who keeps it.
  • Contributors keep control of what they give. Consent is recorded with each oral history, and a withdrawn recording returns to its keepers.
  • Visitors need no account and nothing about them is kept. They see only what the Nation releases; an item under protocol is never released.
  • Passes are sold through what the Nation already runs, and the money goes to the Nation’s own account.
  • The Nation may keep its recordings and images on its own storage.
Collections · Oral Histories · Registrar · Bringing Items Home · Admissions · Gallery Screens · Community Work
🗣 Language and knowledge
Words, recordings, classes and the people who hold the knowledge.
  • Elders write and order their own lessons. ECO writes no lessons and seeds no curriculum.
  • A word joins the Nation’s list only after the office accepts it, and recordings are approved by the people the office chooses.
  • Funder reports show participation, never what anyone said or recorded.
  • If a funded seat ends, it becomes read-only; the learner keeps their own work.
Cultural Vocabulary Library · Teachings · Word of the Day · Knowledge Keepers
📋 Projects and people
Projects, volunteers, training, local jobs, and who in the office may do what.
  • The office assigns roles: for each area, who may see, who may add and change, and who may approve or release. A title such as Chief grants no access by itself.
  • Office pages name people. Reports that leave the office show totals only.
  • Volunteer hours are approved by the project manager and then locked. Background checks are recorded by the office; ECO does not run them.
  • On the Work board a member is named to the office only when they say they are interested in an opening.
  • The optional Workforce assistant shows the office how many registry members fit an opening as counts, never names; the employer and the office decide who is hired.

💵 Funding and reports
Awards, applications, program attendance, staff time and the reports funders and council need.
  • The Nation decides which awards are recorded and what any funder receives.
  • Staff time keeps hours and miles only. No pay rates are stored.
  • Program attendance is counted without anyone needing an account.
  • Vendors come from the office’s own list. ECO suggests none.
  • A quarterly funding digest lists open public funding for Tribal offices.
Grants and Reporting · Grant Applications · Programs and Attendance · Office Time and Costs · Office Reports
🪶 Governance and protocols
The Nation’s own protocols, its council’s records, and its data.
  • The Nation writes its protocols in its own words, with its own names and symbols. ECO supplies none of them.
  • A protocol shows as a notice on the items, recordings, places and passes it governs, and can be tied to a season and to the council resolution behind it.
  • Only the Nation’s administrators write protocols. The office decides which council records members may read.
  • The optional Council packet assistant drafts agendas and resolutions for the chair and secretary; the council decides every matter.
  • A full export of the Nation’s records is prepared by ECO whenever the Nation asks. Word and Excel files are made in the browser; nothing is sent to an outside service, and ECO writes no legal wording.
