New Bill in Congress Aims to Expand Broadband Access for Tribes During Pandemic
Description (Dublin Core)
“A new bill announced today by the co-chairs of the Congressional Native American Caucus would give tribes emergency authority of broadband spectrum over their lands, in an effort to greatly increase internet access for tribal nations grappling with COVID-19 pandemic response. ‘Broadband has been an issue…in Indian Country, for a very long time,’ Haaland said in an interview with The NM Political Report. ‘The pandemic has pulled back the blanket and the sun is illuminating these disparities.’ She added that internet access should be viewed as a basic necessity, like home electricity.” #IndigenousStories
