Federal Dam

Federal Dam is a small Leech Lake Band of Ojibwe community at the outlet of Leech Lake, where the Leech Lake River begins, within the Chippewa National Forest and the homeland of a sovereign Ojibwe nation. Its tribal community, fishing-and-resort economy, and Native-owned businesses anchor local life. 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.

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.

A single focused workflow runs from the high four figures into the mid five figures; we scope it to what the enterprise or program actually needs and phase it so value lands early.

Usually eight to ten weeks to the first live workflow, then iterative improvements from there.
