Poplar
Poplar is the tribal headquarters of the Fort Peck Assiniboine and Sioux Tribes, in Roosevelt County, Montana on the Fort Peck Reservation along the Missouri River and US Highway 2. It is the seat of the Tribes' government, home to Fort Peck Community College, the Poplar schools, the Indian Health Service hospital, and tribal enterprises serving the Assiniboine (Nakoda) and Sioux (Dakota) people. Media & Technology Group builds bespoke business platforms (custom software, AI automation, managed IT, and marketing) for the Fort Peck Assiniboine and Sioux Tribes, their government, college, schools, enterprises, and programs, and the Poplar area's businesses, and we serve them remote-first from York County, Pennsylvania. Distance is no barrier, and we add on-site time when a project warrants the trip. When we build for the Nation, the Nation owns its data and its systems, full stop.
Do you work with the Fort Peck Tribes and businesses in Poplar, Montana?
Yes. Remote-first from our York County, Pennsylvania base, and being the tribal headquarters of the Fort Peck Assiniboine and Sioux Tribes is no obstacle: nearly all of our work is done remotely, with on-site visits when a project warrants it. A Poplar client, the tribal government, the college, a school, an enterprise, or a local business, gets a named contact, a regular maintenance window, and direct access for urgent issues.
If you build a system for the Fort Peck Assiniboine and Sioux Tribes, who owns the data?
The Nation does, full stop. We respect tribal data sovereignty: the Tribes own their data and their systems outright, the data stays under the Nation's control, and there is no vendor lock-in. You can take the platform and its data with you at any time.
Can you respect tribal data sovereignty and the Tribes' governance of their own information?
Yes. That's foundational to how we work with a Nation. We build so that data ownership, hosting, access, and governance stay with the Fort Peck Assiniboine and Sioux Tribes, and we document it plainly so there's never ambiguity about who controls what.
Can you help Fort Peck Community College with student, program, or operations systems?
Yes. A tribal college like Fort Peck Community College is exactly who we build student-information, enrollment, course, advising, and reporting platforms for, around how the institution actually runs, with the college and the Nation owning the data and the system outright and student privacy designed in.
Can you build Dakota and Nakoda-language (Dakȟótiyapi / Nakȟóta) tools for the Poplar community?
Yes. We can build interfaces, content, forms, and language-preservation or education tools that support Dakȟótiyapi and Nakȟóta alongside English, scoped to how the Tribes, the college, the schools, and the community want to use them.
Can you help the Poplar schools or a Fort Peck tribal program?
Yes. A school or a tribal health, education, housing, or social program is exactly who we build student-information, case-management, enrollment, scheduling, and reporting tools for, with the school and the Nation owning the data and the system outright.
Can you help a Fort Peck tribal enterprise in Poplar?
Yes. A tribal enterprise, manufacturing, retail, energy, or another tribal-owned business, is exactly who we build operations, point-of-sale, inventory, and reporting platforms for, around how the enterprise actually runs, with the Tribes owning the result and the data.
Where does AI help a Poplar organization or business?
In intake, scheduling, case management, recordkeeping, member or customer email, and follow-up, so a tribal program, the college, an enterprise, or a local business gets real leverage without adding headcount, while keeping data under its own control.
What's the cybersecurity baseline for a Poplar tribal or local organization?
Managed EDR, MFA, immutable backups, phishing filtering, and a written recovery plan, plus secure payment handling and access controls aligned to the Tribes' data-governance, HIPAA, FERPA, and student-privacy rules. We set it up and manage it for you, with the Nation retaining control.
What does a custom platform cost a Poplar organization?
A single focused workflow runs from the high four figures into the mid five figures; larger government, college, or enterprise platforms scale from there. We scope it to what the Tribes, college, or business actually needs and phase it so value lands early.
How long until it's running, and who owns the code and data?
Usually eight to ten weeks to the first live workflow, then iterative improvements from there, and you own the code and the data outright, with no lock-in. For the Nation, its college, and its schools, that ownership and data sovereignty are the starting point, not an afterthought.
Can you help a Poplar organization or business get found online?
Yes. Local SEO, outreach, and communication tools tuned for Poplar, the Fort Peck Reservation, Fort Peck Community College, and the wider Roosevelt County area, so the people, students, and customers searching find you first.
