For communities · Stewardship

Claim your community’s page

Every culture page on FirstCiv today is a reference edition, built from openly-licensed sources. It belongs, by right, to the community it describes. If that community is yours, you can claim stewardship of the page here.

How this works — honestly

This is a human process. A person reads every claim; nothing is automated and no AI decides anything.
We verify claims by direct contact — we will write to you, talk with you, and where possible confirm with community organisations.
Verified stewards hold authority over how their culture is represented here — including correcting, restricting or taking down content.
Claiming is free, and it commits you to nothing. It opens a conversation.

Community page

Your name

Your role in the community

For example: elder, council member, language teacher, cultural officer, archivist.

Organisation (if any)

A community council, cultural centre, school or association — optional.

We verify every claim by direct contact — this is the address we will write to.

Your relationship to this community

Tell us, in your own words, how you are connected to this community and on whose behalf you are claiming. A few sentences is enough.

Sending a claim starts a conversation with a person. It does not change the page, grant automated access, or create any obligation on your part.
