How are you using AI in your business right now?

Maybe you’re using it for captions, flyers, emails, content ideas, customer responses, or brainstorming when your brain is tired.

Or maybe you haven’t used it yet because you’re unsure where to start.

Either way, we are curious. Let us know in the comments

And if you are not using AI and want to learn more:

We know what happens when decisions are made about us without us. That is why Native small business owners need to understand tools like AI and social media — we don't want to blindly accept them, but we do want to make informed choices.

We can have real concerns about data, water, energy, and extraction while also learning how to protect our stories, strengthen our businesses, and use technology on our own terms.

It's crazy that we are halfway through 2026 already!!! We still have some great workshops that you don't want to miss.

We want to take this day to congratulate three of the graduates from the Spring Bridges to Prosperity Business Cohort. These three aspiring entrepreneurs pitched their idea to a panel of four judges for a chance to win some start up funds.

We are so proud of everyone that presented at this event, they all walked away with something. We did not post their business ideas intentionally. They haven't launched yet so we want them to have the opportunity to make their own announcements about their businesses!

Please help us congratulate them on all of their hard work and the journey into business they have ahead.
