OUR EXPERTISE
Comprehensive professional services, rooted in indigenous tradition
We advance wellbeing for the Pokagon Band, and honor its values and lifeways
Bodwé is the Professional Services Group of Mno-Bmadsen, the non-gaming economic development enterprise of the Pokagon Band of Potawatomi. Mno-Bmadsen, which means “the good path,” was formed in 2012 from the Tribal mandate to diversify business interests, revenue streams, and wealth for future generations. Under Mno-Bmadsen, the companies of Bodwé work to better serve the Pokagon Band and its people, building up its resources for continued growth and sovereignty. Bodwé Group is comprised of Seven Generations Architecture + Engineering, WBK Engineering, The Steelhead Engineering Company, and Blue Star Integrative Studio.

Indigenous
Blue Star Integrative Studio was founded as an ally and responsible steward of tribal resources geared towards strengthening sovereignty, empowerment, and cultural expression.

We understand and relish planning and development projects. Blue Star helps clients stretch, organize, and quantify their dreams and goals into clear and obtainable direction.
