Native America Calling: Promising steps to increase broadband access
Tuesday, June 1, 2021
People living on tribal lands can now get up to $75 toward their monthly internet bill thanks to a new program from the Federal Communications Commission.

The lack of access hurts tribal economies, hinders communication and limits educational opportunities.
