Cannon Ball

Cannon Ball is a community of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe in Sioux County, North Dakota — the Dakota and Lakota Oyate — at the mouth of the Cannonball River where it meets the Missouri at Lake Oahe, a community known across Indian Country for the 2016 Oceti Sakowin water-protector gathering and the principle of Mni Wiconi, water is life. Its tribal community is anchored by the Nation's government, programs, and the land and water it protects. Media & Technology Group works as a sovereign-economic-development technology partner — building custom software, AI automation, managed IT, and marketing for the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe, its Cannon Ball-area programs and enterprises, and local businesses — remote-first from York County, Pennsylvania, structured so the Tribe owns its data and its systems, full stop; distance is no barrier, and we add on-site time when a project warrants the trip.
