New Town

New Town is the largest community in Mountrail County and the seat of government of the MHA Nation — the Mandan, Hidatsa, and Arikara Nation (Nueta, Hidatsa, and Sahnish peoples) — on the Fort Berthold Reservation beside Lake Sakakawea in northwestern North Dakota. Home to tribal government, the 4 Bears Casino & Lodge, and a significant energy economy, it anchors the Nation's self-determination and a wider regional market. Media & Technology Group works as a sovereign-economic-development technology partner — building custom software, AI automation, managed IT, and marketing for the MHA Nation, its government and programs, its enterprises and energy operations, and New Town-area businesses — remote-first from York County, Pennsylvania, structured so the Nation owns its data and its systems, full stop; distance is no barrier, and we add on-site time when a project warrants the trip.

Do you work with the MHA Nation and businesses in New Town, North Dakota?

Yes — remote-first from our York County, Pennsylvania base, we work with the Mandan, Hidatsa, and Arikara Nation, its government and programs, its enterprises and energy operations, and New Town-area businesses. Nearly all of our work is done remotely, with on-site visits when a project warrants it, and a New Town client gets a named contact, a regular maintenance window, and direct access for urgent issues.

How do you handle tribal data sovereignty?

It is the foundation of how we build. The Nation owns its data and its systems, full stop — we structure every engagement to respect tribal data sovereignty, you keep the code and the data outright with no lock-in, and we follow the Nation's own governance and data-ownership rules on where data lives and who can access it.

Can you build systems for the MHA Nation's tribal government and programs?

Yes — we build enrollment, case-management, health, education, housing, social-services, grants, and administration platforms for tribal government and programs, designed around the Nation's workflows and reporting needs, with the data owned and governed by the Nation.

Can you help with the Nation's energy and oil-and-gas operations and regulation?

Yes — the MHA Nation's significant energy economy is a driver of its self-determination, and we build royalty-tracking, lease, permitting, energy-regulation, revenue, and reporting platforms for the Nation's energy and regulatory work, with the data owned and controlled by the Nation.

Can you support Nueta, Hidatsa, or Sahnish language needs in the tools you build?

Yes — we can build Nueta (Mandan), Hidatsa, and Sahnish (Arikara)-language interfaces, bilingual content, and language-preservation and education tools, so the systems support the Nation's languages and culture rather than working against them.

Can you work with MHA tribal enterprises like the 4 Bears Casino & Lodge?

Yes — we treat the Nation's enterprises, including the 4 Bears Casino & Lodge, as serious economic drivers, and we build the booking, point-of-sale, players-club, e-commerce, scheduling, and reporting platforms they need, with revenue and customer data owned by the Nation.

Can you help New Town health and education programs with technology?

Yes — we build scheduling, records, intake, reporting, and case-management tools for tribal and IHS health, education, and community programs, scoped to how each serves MHA families and governed by the Nation's data rules.

Where does AI help the MHA Nation and New Town businesses?

In intake, scheduling, case routing, recordkeeping, royalty and report drafting, and member communication — so tribal programs, enterprises, and energy operations get real leverage without adding headcount, always under the Nation's control of its data.

What's the cybersecurity baseline you'd put in place?

Managed EDR, MFA, immutable backups, phishing filtering, and a written recovery and incident plan, plus secure payment handling for enterprises and access and audit controls for energy and government data — protecting the Nation's systems and members' privacy, with the Nation retaining ownership and oversight.

Will the Nation be locked into your platform?

No — never. You own the code and the data outright; we build on open, portable foundations and document everything, so the Nation can run, host, or move its systems on its own terms. Sovereignty means no vendor lock-in.

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 Nation, a program, an enterprise, or an energy operation actually needs and phase it so value lands early and grant or budget cycles are respected.

Can you help MHA enterprises and the Nation get found online?

Yes — local SEO and content tuned for New Town, the MHA Nation, and the Fort Berthold and Lake Sakakawea area, so visitors, customers, and partners searching find the Nation's enterprises and information first, presented the way the Nation wants to be seen.
