Sovereignty-conscious AI for Montana's seven tribal nations.
Government, gaming, energy, ag, healthcare, and tribal college operations — with data sovereignty and cultural awareness built in from day one.
The seven tribal nations of Montana — Blackfeet, Crow, Northern Cheyenne, Confederated Salish and Kootenai, Fort Belknap (Gros Ventre and Assiniboine), Fort Peck (Assiniboine and Sioux), and Little Shell — operate enterprises that span every sector of the state economy.
We build AI for tribal governments, gaming and hospitality enterprises, energy and ag operations, tribal health departments, and tribal colleges. Every deployment is designed around data sovereignty principles: tribal data stays on tribal infrastructure when possible, all configurations respect cultural protocols, and tribal councils retain full control of how AI is used.
We work under the guidance of CARE Principles for Indigenous Data Governance and OCAP (Ownership, Control, Access, Possession) where applicable.
AI tracks deadlines, drafts narrative sections from your program data, and assembles reporting packages for HUD, IHS, BIA, DOJ, and ANA grants.
AI helps draft TERO compliance documentation, vendor solicitations, and procurement summaries. Tribal council reviews and approves.
Meeting recordings become accurate minutes, resolutions, and action items — with proper tribal protocol observed.
All the healthcare tools, configured for tribal health departments and IHS partnerships, with sovereignty and BAA considerations addressed.
Working with tribal elders and language programs to build AI tools that respect and support — never replace — indigenous language work. Always under elder and council direction.
Stone Child, Salish Kootenai, Aaniiih Nakoda, Fort Peck, Blackfeet, Chief Dull Knife, and Little Big Horn colleges — AI student advising, financial aid, and academic support tools.
Starter project
Custom
Scoped to the specific enterprise and reviewed by tribal council. We start with a no-cost listening engagement before any technical work.
Book a free conversationThe tribe does. Always. Our configurations are designed so tribal data remains under tribal control, with documented governance and no transfer to outside systems without explicit tribal consent.
Yes. Our process starts with listening — to council, to elders, to program directors. Cultural protocols are non-negotiable and drive the technical decisions, not the other way around.
We've worked with tribal governments and enterprises in Montana and learn from each engagement. We don't pretend to be experts in any specific tribe's history or culture — we listen, we ask, and we follow your lead.
Step 1 · Strategy
