ABOUT US
Robust technology solutions for secure and demanding federal environments
Our technology experts include many former federal and military personnel who are passionately committed to our mission as a tribally owned company, and to yours.
We are built upon 10 years of successful federal agency support
As Bodwé contract support services for federal agencies has grown over the past decade, we have found increasing need and opportunity in the technology solutions arena, particularly with the Department of Defense and Federal Civilian sectors. Our response is Bodwé Technology Solutions, where our highly skilled team members keenly understand how to leverage robust IT solutions to enhance government functions and services, and to enable transparent, efficient, secure, and accountable federal operations.
Our philosophy and values
As a tribally-owned group of companies on mission to grow the economy and legacy of the Pokagon Band of Potawatomi, we fuel our work through our shared values. The Pokagon Seven Generations philosophy instills in us the value of working together to plan for our shared future and for what may come for generations we will never meet. This is not a plaque on our wall, our values are embedded in how we work and relate to each other and our clients and partners.

OUR HERITAGE
Our name inspires how we serve our Indigenous, federal, municipal, transportation, and community clients
The Bodewéwadmik people, or Potawatomi, have long been identified as the keepers of the fire. Our name, Bodwé, comes from their rich history and language, and from our ties to the Pokagon Band of Potawatomi, whose Tribal land is found in southwest Michigan. Bodwé means to light a fire for someone; or in other words, to meaningfully serve another. As a family of companies offering professional services in partnership with many diverse clients, the name Bodwé suits us perfectly. You will find Indigenous tradition woven into our brands and identities and, more importantly, our values and ways of working.
Success and growth driven by the Bodwé vision
As wholly owned companies of the Pokagon Band, the mission and values we hold, and the name we have chosen, lead us to brave and meaningful service for Indigenous, civic, veteran, student, patient, and wildlife communities.
