Procopio Releases First-of-Its-Kind Mobile App for Indigenous Awareness

San Diego, CA, October 14, 2015 (Newswire.com) - ​​​​Procopio, Cory, Hargreaves & Savitch LLP, in partnership with the Maataam Naka Shin  and Southern California Tribal Chairmen’s Association (SCTCA), announced today the release of a first-of-its-kind mobile application designed to raise interest and awareness about San Diego’s Indigenous museums, exhibits, businesses, lands and public sites of interest.

The free app, called Indigenous San Diego, will premiere next week at the 72nd National Congress of American Indians (NCAI) Convention and Marketplace in San Diego where more than 4,000 participants are expected to attend. While its initial release will be focused on the NCAI Convention, the app will have much broader appeal, and it will continue to grow in both scope and in its use.

"Procopio is committed to finding innovative ways to strengthen relationships with our community. By developing this mobile technology, we are raising awareness and supporting a vital part of our business and cultural communities."

Thomas W. Turner, Jr., Procopio's Managing Partner

“We are extremely proud to be part of this exciting initiative in which we leverage technology to increase public awareness and understanding of historic and current actions of local Tribal communities, and in doing so, further knowledge about this vital part of the San Diego culture and economy,” said Ted Griswold, who leads the Native American Law Group at Procopio.
