Neopit
Neopit is the forestry heart of the Menominee Nation, home to the sawmill of Menominee Tribal Enterprises — the operation at the center of a forest the Nation has managed sustainably for more than 160 years, taking timber while leaving the woods richer than they found them. It's a working community of forestry, wood-products, and the trades and Native-owned businesses that support them. Media & Technology Group works with tribal enterprises and Native-owned businesses as sovereign economic partners — building custom software, AI automation, managed IT, and marketing on terms that respect the Nation's authority over its own data and systems — and we serve them remote-first from York County, Pennsylvania, with on-site time when a project warrants the trip.
Do you work with the Menominee Nation and Native-owned businesses in Neopit?
Yes — we work with tribal enterprises, government offices, and Native-owned businesses as sovereign economic partners, remote-first from our York County, Pennsylvania base, with on-site visits when a project warrants it. A Neopit client gets a named contact, a regular maintenance window, and direct access for urgent issues.
How do you handle data sovereignty for the Menominee Nation?
The Nation owns its data and its systems, full stop. We build so that data stays under the Nation's control, with hosting, access, and ownership structured to respect tribal data sovereignty — and you keep the code and data outright, no lock-in.
Does working remotely mean slower support for a Neopit organization?
No — remote-first is how we work everywhere, and for a Northwoods forestry community like Neopit it means the same fast response as anywhere, without waiting on someone to drive up.
Can you help the forestry or sawmill enterprise with operations and traceability?
Yes — a forestry, sawmill, or wood-products enterprise is exactly who we build production, inventory, milling, traceability, and billing tools for, around how the operation actually runs — built to honor a forest managed for the long term.
What would you build for a Neopit tribal enterprise or Native-owned business?
Usually a production, scheduling, inventory, customer, or billing platform built around how your operation runs — so a Neopit enterprise works from one system instead of disconnected apps and spreadsheets.
Where does AI help a Neopit enterprise or business?
In intake, scheduling, production tracking, inventory, customer email, and follow-up — so a Neopit team gets real leverage without adding headcount, on tools that stay under the Nation's control.
Can you build tools that respect the Menominee language and culture?
Yes — we can build interfaces and content that incorporate the Menominee language and reflect the Nation's priorities, guided by the Nation rather than imposed, so the tools serve the community on its own terms.
Can you help a Native-owned small business in Neopit with customers and sales?
Yes — a Native-owned retail, trades, recreation, or service business is exactly who we build customer, scheduling, and billing tools for, scoped to a budget that makes sense.
What's the cybersecurity baseline for a tribal enterprise or business?
Managed EDR, MFA, immutable backups, phishing filtering, and a written recovery plan, plus secure payment handling where payments are taken — all structured to keep control with the Nation.
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 enterprise actually needs and phase it so value lands early.
How long until it's running?
Usually eight to ten weeks to the first live workflow, then iterative improvements from there.
Who owns the code and data?
You do, outright — no lock-in. For the Menominee Nation that means full ownership and control of the platform and the data within it.
