Connecting Indian Country to broadband and energy transmission throughout reservations, pueblos, villages, and communities, is a priority of Indian Affairs. The digital divide in Indian Country will continue to grow, absent any federal assistance. In 2017 the FCC Broadband Development Report stated 34% of Native Americans who live on rural tribal lands lacked access to sufficient broadband capabilities.
