Birney
Birney is a Northern Cheyenne community on the Northern Cheyenne Reservation in Rosebud County, Montana along the Tongue River in the southeastern part of the reservation, in pine-and-prairie ranch country. Its life centers on the Northern Cheyenne Tribe's community and programs, ranching, and the families and small organizations serving the area. Media & Technology Group builds bespoke business platforms (custom software, AI automation, managed IT, and marketing) for the Northern Cheyenne Tribe, its programs and enterprises, and the Birney area's organizations and 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 Northern Cheyenne community and businesses in Birney, Montana?
Yes. Remote-first from our York County, Pennsylvania base, and being a Northern Cheyenne Reservation community on the Tongue River in Rosebud County is no obstacle: nearly all of our work is done remotely, with on-site visits when a project warrants it. A Birney client, tribal program, or local organization, gets a named contact, a regular maintenance window, and direct access for urgent issues.
If you build a system for the Northern Cheyenne Tribe, who owns the data?
The Nation does, full stop. We respect tribal data sovereignty: the Tribe owns its data and its 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 Tribe's governance of its 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 Northern Cheyenne Tribe, and we document it plainly so there's never ambiguity about who controls what.
Can you build Cheyenne-language (Tsetsehestahese) tools for the Birney community?
Yes. We can build interfaces, content, forms, and language-preservation or education tools that support the Cheyenne language alongside English, scoped to how the Tribe, the schools, and the community want to use them.
Can you help a Northern Cheyenne tribal program in Birney, health, education, housing, or social services?
Yes. A tribal health, education, housing, or social program is exactly who we build case-management, enrollment, scheduling, reporting, and operations platforms for, around how the Nation runs the work, with data kept under tribal control.
Can you help a Birney ranch with cattle and herd management?
Yes. A cattle ranch near Birney, in Tongue River pine-and-prairie country, is exactly who we build herd, calving, grazing, inventory, and recordkeeping tools for, around how the operation actually runs across the seasons and the range.
Can you help a Birney tribal enterprise or local organization?
Yes. A tribal enterprise or a local organization in Birney is exactly who we build operations, scheduling, inventory, and member or customer platforms for, around how the operation actually runs, with the Tribe owning the result and the data when we build for the Nation.
Where does AI help a Birney organization or business?
In intake, scheduling, case management, recordkeeping, member or customer email, and follow-up, so a tribal program or local organization gets real leverage without adding headcount, while keeping data under its own control.
What's the cybersecurity baseline for a Birney 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 Tribe's data-governance rules. We set it up and manage it for you, with the Nation retaining control.
What does a custom platform cost a Birney organization?
A single focused workflow runs from the high four figures into the mid five figures; we scope it to what the Tribe, program, or organization 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, that ownership and data sovereignty are the starting point, not an afterthought.
Can you help a Birney organization or business get found online?
Yes. Local SEO, outreach, and communication tools tuned for Birney, the Northern Cheyenne Reservation, and the wider Rosebud County area, so the people and families searching find you first.
