Our founder @rusty.digital moderated a panel on AI and Data Sovereignty at East Central University's Tribal Education Summit. Leaders from Cherokee Nation, Chickasaw Nation, and the University of Oregon discussed how Tribes can approach AI while protecting identity and sovereignty.
There is no greater example of public service. Thank you. #VeteransDay
In our work with governments and tribal communities, we bring the warrior spirit to today’s challenges: forging new paths, bridging divides, and fighting for a better digital future.
Today is not about division—it’s about truth, survival, and Native excellence. And we are proud to walk that path.

Today we celebrate Piomingo Day.
At 580 Strategies, we lead with the warrior-diplomacy of Hopayi’ Minko—vision, sovereignty, and service to community.
Native values guide us. Piomingo’s legacy lives in our work.

"Data is one more of those [extracted] resources,” @rusty.digital said. “For Indigenous Peoples, that’s our culture, our language, our artwork, it’s deeply personal. And, because it’s valuable, people are going to come after it."

Greatly enjoyed #RES2025 talking #AI #Salesforce and the federal contracting headwinds.
It’s important to continue showing up, doing the good work, and reminding folks that tribes have a sacred government to government relationship with the United States.
