Telecommunications and Technology



As other communities focus on bringing Internet connectivity to their citizens, many American Indians and Alaska Natives have yet to be connected to a basic telephone network. In 1999, three reports examining the state of connectivity in Indian Country found that Native Americans face an urgent situation - one in which telecommunications and information technology infrastructure capabilities fall far behind the rest of the United States. With support from the AOL-Time Warner Foundation, NCAI has established a Digital Divide Task Force to examine telecommunications and technology issues in Indian Country.
