The Tonight Show with Jay Leno referenced our work with the Prairie Island Dakota Tribe in his opening monologue:
“In USA Today there was an interesting article about a group of Native Americans at an Indian reservation in Minnesota
using high technology to save the language of Dakota that was on the verge of extinction. You know, maybe we should
try that here in Los Angeles with English.”
Thanks Jay!

A note about the media...
We have been fortunate to have generated lots of attention
in the press lately. Upon client request, we will contact local
media so that positive news stories can be generated about
the language program. We'll also coordinate with your tribal
PR department. Over 80 news outlets (TV, print, web, radio
& periodicals) have done stories on our work in the last
three years and all have been positive. Most stories are
reprinted multiple times. Arguably, TMI has recently
generated more positive press for tribes at no cost than any
other entity in Indian Country. These stories focus on the
client and we try to stay in the background and do not
appear in any photos. For us, a successful article focuses
on tribal members revitalizing their language.

Recent Client Comment
I found TMI to be a transparent and accessible organization.
From our initial conversation on, the process of purchase,
acquisition, training and implementation was clear in my mind.
Your professionalism was apparent, as were the varied skills
acquired through work with many tribal communities. As an
Indian-owned company you brought understanding and
certain sensitivities to the process that were essential. Not
having to explain the intricacies of this and that aspect of
our nation and Indian Country at large was a breath of fresh
air. Y'alls passion and commitment to Indian languages is
evident. Y'all are doing a work that no one else is doing,
using advanced technology to perpetuate our languages.
Chokmashki!
