Subject: [First Mile] Op-Ed Article on Indigenous technology development in
Vancouver Sun

 

Hi everyone,

FYI -- the Vancouver Sun published an Op-Ed article written by Norm Leech
from the B.C. First Nations Technology Council and myself. The article
highlights some of the many technology development projects that are taking
place in indigenous communities across Canada. It frames them as part of a
long and continuing history of work in this area. It also points readers to
the First Nation Innovation and First Mile websites.

Indigenous people organize, innovate for digital self-determination: First
Nations Technology Council promotes development and use of community
networks
