Case Study: Roanhorse Consulting builds Indigenous entrepreneurship infrastructure with EcoMap Discover

Roanhorse Consulting builds CenterNative with EcoMap Technologies to serve 100+ ecosystems and 250,000+ resources

Roanhorse Consulting, an Indigenous-led social enterprise, faced the challenge of building digital infrastructure for Indigenous entrepreneurs in New Mexico and the Navajo Nation, as traditional systems were not designed to support their community-centric worldview. To address the difficulty in finding resources and forging connections, they partnered with vendor EcoMap Technologies to develop a public platform using the EcoMap Discover product.

The solution was the creation of CenterNative, a platform powered by EcoMap that organizes resources and fosters connections specifically for Indigenous communities. This provided the tailored digital infrastructure needed to reduce friction and increase visibility, allowing entrepreneurs and organizations to find each other and share resources directly. EcoMap Technologies enabled Roanhorse to build a resilient, interconnected ecosystem that supports Indigenous sovereignty and long-term economic wellbeing.
