                      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>
