A great deal of Indian Country often lacks internet access, and often, connectivity solutions fall on the shoulders of Tribal community members.
For the past two years, Tribal Broadband Bootcamps (TBB), co-founded by Matt Rantanen and Christopher Mitchell and now hosted at the Indigenous Connectivity Institute at Connect Humanity, have worked with 35 Tribes and more than 200 participants to date. I’ve been fortunate enough to connect and learn from this group that supports experiential opportunities for Tribal members to build, maintain, and troubleshoot nontraditional networks and wireless networks in Indian Country.
