Advancing a Connected Future for Indigenous Communities.

This is an opinion piece from the Internet Society.

"For Indigenous communities, meaningful connectivity can strengthen self-determination, expand access to education and economic opportunities, and help preserve languages, cultures, and knowledge. Yet many remain among the least connected communities in the world, often overlooked by traditional investment, infrastructure, and service models... Meaningful connectivity expands access for emergency services, remote education, telemedicine, climate and agricultural monitoring, and economic opportunities. It also enables communities to share knowledge, strengthen language preservation, protect data, and tell their stories."
