Solen
Solen is a community of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe in northern Sioux County, North Dakota — the Dakota and Lakota Oyate — on the reservation in the rolling prairie near the Missouri River, with tribal programs, a school, and a community anchored by the Nation's government and the surrounding ranch and farm land. 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 Solen-area programs and enterprises, and local businesses and ranches — 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.
Do you work with the Standing Rock community at Solen, North Dakota?
Yes — remote-first from our York County, Pennsylvania base, we work with the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe, its Solen-area programs, ranches, and local businesses. Nearly all of our work is done remotely, with on-site visits when a project warrants it, and a Solen 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 Tribe 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 Tribe's governance on where data lives and who can access it.
Can you build systems for Standing Rock programs serving Solen?
Yes — we build health, education, housing, social-services, enrollment, and case-management platforms for the tribal programs that serve the Solen community, designed around the Tribe's workflows and governed by its data rules.
Can you support Dakota and Lakota language needs in the tools you build?
Yes — we can build Dakhotiyapi (Dakota) and Lakhotiyapi (Lakota)-language interfaces, bilingual content, and language-preservation and education tools, so the systems support the Oyate's languages and culture.
Can you help a Solen-area ranch or cattle operation with recordkeeping and logistics?
Yes — a cattle or ranching operation near Solen is exactly who we build herd-record, production, inventory, and logistics tools for, around how the calving, grazing, and sale seasons actually run, with the operator keeping the code and data.
Can you work with Standing Rock tribal enterprises?
Yes — we treat the Tribe's enterprises as serious economic drivers and build the point-of-sale, booking, e-commerce, scheduling, and reporting platforms they need, with revenue and customer data owned by the Tribe.
Where does AI help the Solen community and Standing Rock programs?
In intake, scheduling, case routing, recordkeeping, and grant and report drafting — so tribal programs and ranches get real leverage without adding headcount, and tribal data stays under the Tribe's control.
Can you help a Solen-area business or service?
Yes — a business or service at Solen is exactly who we build scheduling, point-of-sale, recordkeeping, and customer tools for, around how the work actually runs, with the owner keeping the code and data.
What's the cybersecurity baseline you'd put in place?
Managed EDR, MFA, immutable backups, phishing filtering, and a written recovery plan, plus secure payment handling and access controls — protecting the Tribe's systems and members' privacy, with the Tribe retaining ownership and oversight.
Will the community or Tribe 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 Tribe can run, host, or move its systems on its own terms.
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 a program, enterprise, ranch, or business actually needs and phase it so value lands early and grant or budget cycles are respected.
Can you help Solen-area programs and businesses get found online?
Yes — local SEO and content tuned for Solen, the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe, and the reservation and Missouri River area, so the people searching find the Tribe's programs and local businesses first, the way the Tribe wants to be seen.
