Redby
Redby is a community of the Red Lake Nation on the south shore of Lower Red Lake, home to tribal enterprises including the Nation's renowned walleye fishery and a community of Native-owned and tribal businesses. As a sovereign Ojibwe nation, Red Lake holds its land in common, and its enterprises anchor the local economy. Media & Technology Group works with tribal enterprises and Native-owned businesses as sovereign economic partners — building custom software, AI automation, managed IT, and marketing on terms that respect the Nation's authority over its own data and systems — and we serve them remote-first from York County, Pennsylvania, with on-site time when a project warrants the trip.
Do you work with the Red Lake Nation and Native-owned businesses at Redby?
Yes — we work with tribal enterprises, government offices, and Native-owned businesses as sovereign economic partners, remote-first from our York County, Pennsylvania base, with on-site visits when a project warrants it. A Redby client gets a named contact, a regular maintenance window, and direct access for urgent issues.
How do you handle data sovereignty for the Red Lake Nation?
The Nation owns its data and its systems, full stop. We build so that data stays under the Nation's control, with hosting, access, and ownership structured to respect tribal data sovereignty — and you keep the code and data outright, no lock-in.
Does working remotely mean slower support for a Redby organization?
No — remote-first is how we work everywhere, and for a Red Lake community like Redby it means the same fast response as anywhere, without waiting on someone to drive up.
Can you help the Red Lake fishery at Redby with operations and traceability?
Yes — a fishery or food enterprise is exactly who we build production, inventory, traceability, and billing tools for, around how the catch and sales actually run, under the Nation's control.
What would you build for a Redby tribal enterprise or Native-owned business?
Usually a production, customer, scheduling, membership, or billing platform built around how your operation runs — so a Redby enterprise works from one system instead of disconnected apps.
Can you build tools that respect the Ojibwe language and culture?
Yes — we can build interfaces and content that incorporate the Ojibwe language and reflect the Nation's priorities, guided by the Nation rather than imposed.
Where does AI help a Redby enterprise or business?
In intake, scheduling, production tracking, customer email, and follow-up — so a Redby team gets real leverage without adding headcount, on tools that stay under the Nation's control.
What's the cybersecurity baseline for a tribal enterprise?
Managed EDR, MFA, immutable backups, phishing filtering, and a written recovery plan, plus secure payment handling where payments are taken — all structured to keep control with the Nation.
What does a custom platform cost?
A single focused workflow runs from the high four figures into the mid five figures; we scope it to what the enterprise actually needs and phase it so value lands early.
How long until it's running?
Usually eight to ten weeks to the first live workflow, then iterative improvements from there.
Who owns the code and data?
You do, outright — no lock-in. For the Red Lake Nation that means full ownership and control of the platform and the data within it.
Can you help a Redby enterprise or business get found online?
Yes — local SEO and content tuned for Redby and the Red Lake community on Lower Red Lake, so the customers and visitors searching find you first.
