The FCC’s Office of Native Affairs and Policy has set the dates for its next Native Broadband, Telecommunications, and Media Consultation Workshop.  It will be conducted on September 25 and 26 at the Institute of American Indian Arts (IAIA), 83 Avan Nu Po Road, Santa Fe, New Mexico, 87508.

This free workshop will focus on opportunities for Tribal governments and Native communities to help build communications infrastructure on Tribal lands to improve connectivity and local efforts to enhance cultural and language preservation, economic development, public safety, education, and health care.  Our target audience includes Tribal leaders, governmental managers and officials, including IT directors, radio station and communications officials, economic development managers, public safety officials, educators, and health service specialists.  We will be providing important and breaking information about opportunities in broadband, radio, and telecommunications specifically for Indian country.  In addition to these important policy and dialogue sessions, the workshop will feature our Native Learning Lab, a well-received and interactive computer space described by previous attendees as an  “internet café on steroids,” where attendees will be able to work with FCC staff and receive one-on-one personalized help or small group assistance to learn how to gather information and utilize FCC systems necessary to access many of these opportunities.

In a few weeks, an agenda will be made available, along with instructions on free conference registration procedures, hotel information,  as well as some logistical details.  If you have any questions before then, or want to receive this information directly, please send an email to native at fcc.gov<mailto:native at fcc.gov>.
