Including Indigenous voices in the decisions and solutions that shape
the Internet is a critical part of closing the connectivity gap in rural
and remote communities throughout North America.

_The Indigenous Connectivity Summit is a unique event that focuses on
ensuring Indigenous communities can connect themselves to fast,
affordable and sustainable Internet. Themed on connecting the last 1,000
miles, this year’s event in Inuvik, Northwest Territories will
highlight unique northern connectivity challenges and showcase success
stories of Community Networks around the globe to help inspire solutions
to improve Internet access for all. We’ll also explore themes
including community development and sustainability in a two-day series
of panels, presentations and discussions._

_The 2018 Indigenous Connectivity Summit is an initiative of the
Internet Society, University of Alberta, First Mile Connectivity
Consortium, the Town of Inuvik, and Inuvialuit Regional Corporation._

Best,

Rob
