Marty
Marty is a Yankton Sioux community in Charles Mix County, South Dakota, best known as the home of Marty Indian School (a tribally controlled school serving the Ihanktonwan Dakota Oyate) on reservation land near the Missouri River. Its economy centers on the school, tribal programs, agriculture, and the small businesses serving the community. Media & Technology Group builds bespoke business platforms — custom software, AI automation, managed IT, and marketing — for the Yankton Sioux Tribe, Marty Indian School, tribal programs, and the 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 or its school, they own their data and their systems, full stop.
Do you work with the Yankton Sioux community and Marty Indian School in Marty, South Dakota?
Yes — remote-first from our York County, Pennsylvania base, and being a Yankton Sioux community is no obstacle: nearly all of our work is done remotely, with on-site visits when a project warrants it. A Marty client — the school, a tribal program, or a local business — gets a named contact, a regular maintenance window, and direct access for urgent issues.
Can you build a system for Marty Indian School, and who would own it?
Yes — and the school owns it. We build student-information, enrollment, scheduling, communication, and reporting tools around how a tribally controlled school actually runs, and the school and the Nation own the data and the system outright, with no vendor lock-in.
If you build for the Yankton Sioux 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 you can take the platform and its data with you at any time.
Can you build Dakota-language (Dakȟótiyapi) tools for Marty's students and community?
Yes — we can build language-preservation, classroom, content, and curriculum-support tools that carry Dakȟótiyapi (Ihanktonwan Dakota) alongside English, scoped to how the school and the community want to use them.
Can you respect tribal data sovereignty in education data?
Yes — student and community data is sensitive and sovereign. We build so that data ownership, hosting, access, and governance stay with the school and the Nation, with privacy and security designed in and documented plainly.
Can you help a Marty tribal program — health, social services, or youth programs?
Yes — a tribal health, social-services, or youth program is exactly who we build case-management, scheduling, enrollment, and reporting platforms for, around how the program runs, with data kept under tribal control.
Can you help a Marty-area farm or local business?
Yes — a farm, ranch, or service business near Marty is exactly who we build production, recordkeeping, scheduling, and billing tools for, around how the operation actually runs.
Where does AI help a Marty school, program, or business?
In intake, scheduling, communication, recordkeeping, and follow-up — so a school, tribal program, or local business gets real leverage without adding headcount, while keeping data under its own control.
What's the cybersecurity baseline for Marty Indian School or a tribal program?
Managed EDR, MFA, immutable backups, phishing filtering, and a written recovery plan, plus access controls aligned to the school's and the Tribe's data-governance 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 Marty organization?
A single focused workflow runs from the high four figures into the mid five figures; larger multi-program platforms scale from there. We scope it to what the school or program 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 school and the Nation, that ownership and data sovereignty are the starting point.
Can you help a Marty organization get found and communicate with its community?
Yes — we build communication and outreach tools and tune local SEO and content so Marty Indian School, a tribal program, or a local business reaches its students, families, and community effectively.
