Chances are if you live on an American Indian reservation you experience poor internet service. It’s one disparity that was revealed to many Natives during this pandemic. Trying to connect to the web is spotty in many cases and non existent in others.
In 2019, the American Indian Policy Institute at Arizona State University found that 18-percent of people who live on tribal reservations did not have access to the internet.
They also found that 33-percent relied solely on cell phones for internet service.
The cost of broadband is another barrier to access.
Joining us today to talk about the need for broadband on tribal lands is
