Wounded Knee

Wounded Knee is a Lakota community in Oglala Lakota County, South Dakota on the Pine Ridge Reservation, and the site of the 1890 Wounded Knee Massacre, a place of profound grief, memory, and meaning for the Oglala Lakota Oyate and all Lakota people. It is first and foremost a living community, with families, a school, ranching, and tribal programs, and its history is the Nation's own to hold and to tell. Media & Technology Group builds bespoke business platforms (custom software, AI automation, managed IT, and marketing) for the Oglala Sioux Tribe, its programs, schools, and community organizations in the Wounded Knee area, 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.

Yes. Remote-first from our York County, Pennsylvania base, and being a Pine Ridge Reservation community in Oglala Lakota County is no obstacle: nearly all of our work is done remotely, with on-site visits when a project warrants it. A Wounded Knee client, tribal program, school, or community organization, gets a named contact, a regular maintenance window, and direct access for urgent issues.

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.

Yes, and that respect is the whole point here. The history of Wounded Knee belongs to the Oglala Lakota Oyate, and we build so that data ownership, hosting, access, and governance, including anything touching the community's history and memory, stay with the Tribe, documented plainly so there's never ambiguity about who controls what.

Yes, on the community's terms and under the Nation's control. If the Tribe or a community organization leads a memorial, archive, education, or cultural-preservation effort, we can build the digital tools, archives, and access controls to support it, with the Nation owning the result and deciding what is shared and what is not. We do not commercialize or make tourism products of this place.

Yes. We can build interfaces, content, forms, and language-preservation or education tools that support Lakȟótiyapi alongside English, scoped to how the Tribe, the school, and the community want to use them.

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.

Yes. A school owns the student-information, enrollment, and reporting tools we build with it, and a cattle ranch near Wounded Knee is exactly who we build herd, grazing, and recordkeeping tools for, around how each actually runs, with tribal-facing work kept under the Nation's control.

In intake, scheduling, case management, recordkeeping, member email, and follow-up, so a tribal program, school, or community organization gets real leverage without adding headcount, while keeping data under its own control.

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 and student-privacy rules. We set it up and manage it for you, with the Nation retaining control.

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 and affordably.

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.

Yes. Outreach, member-communication, and local tools tuned for the Wounded Knee community, the Pine Ridge Reservation, and the wider Oglala Lakota County area, built and used on the community's terms, so the people you serve can find and reach you.
