the U.S. and Canada, rural and remote areas are
the hardest to reach and most under-connected.
Native communities face unique barriers for
connecting to the Internet, which is a powerful
tool to preserve cultures and languages; devices
and apps can offer local languages, and community
members can create their own cultural content. The
panel will explore how Internet access can protect
native cultures and community engagement can
foster connectivity. We will also discuss the
opportunities and challenges that native people
face across different terrains; how are native
communities’ problems in the Arctic Circle and
Hawaii similar? How can communities learn from
each other? The panelists will share their stories
and ideas on creating a connected future for
native and Indigenous peoples.</p>
