Yamoria

The Name

Yamoria is a figure from Dene oral tradition — a being of immense power who travelled the land shaping it for those who would follow. In naming this venture Yamoria, founder Jerald Sibbeston signals both origin and intent: this is northern, this is Indigenous, and this is about shaping digital infrastructure for the generations that come next.

The Problem

Canada generates vast quantities of sensitive data — health records, social services files, justice and corrections data, financial records, Indigenous governance documents. Over ninety percent of this data is processed on infrastructure owned by foreign corporations subject to foreign law. The American CLOUD Act compels US companies to produce data stored anywhere in the world. Canadian sovereignty over Canadian data is not guaranteed by geography alone. It requires Canadian-owned infrastructure at every layer of the stack.

What Yamoria Builds

Yamoria develops sovereign compute environments — secure computing infrastructure where all data, workloads, AI models, and operational activities remain exclusively within Canada under Canadian legal and operational control. This includes high-performance computing for large-scale AI analysis, hub-and-spoke architectures for secure multi-department data processing, and deployment of open-source AI models within air-gapped sovereign environments. Provincial governments in Canada, including Alberta, have issued formal procurement requirements for exactly this capability.

Why the North

Canada's northern territories offer structural advantages for compute infrastructure that no other jurisdiction can replicate. Subarctic temperatures provide free-air cooling eight to ten months per year, eliminating the single largest operating cost of data centres. Abundant hydroelectric power from systems like the Taltson provides clean energy. Geographic distance from population centres and border regions improves physical security. Yamoria locates infrastructure where the economics and the geography align — in the North.
