What We Do
DNI (Delaware Nation Industries) is the parent organization for all Information Technology focused businesses owned by the Delaware Nation.

In 2011 Indigenous Technologies began several teaming partnerships with CSI, LLC. and was awarded 4 prime contracts with federal customers as a result of this arrangement. This partnership continued through the Fall of 2014 when DNI purchased CSI adding its capabilities and past performance to the growing Tribal IT Services division.
