The digital divide disproportionally impacts Native American and Alaska Natives. Their homeland geographies, economies and technology footprints effect their ability to self-determine their Information Communication Technologies (ICT). The unequal access to information has rendered them Information Poor (Childers, 1975) and Technology Poor. Information and technology poverty have negatively affected the participation of Native American and Alaska Natives in the Information Age. Tribal leaders from the Pacific Northwest are challenged with bridging this digital divide with limited technologists, non-tribal capital investments and disregard for their tribal sovereignty. Through a series of interviews and examination of documents, this dissertation investigated (1) how the Puyallup Tribe of Indians and Tulalip Tribal Council members decide to implement ICT on their sovereign lands; and (2) the impact of those decisions on their community members. These two tribes are at two opposite points in ICT development. This examination of tribal decision-making concerning ICT identified six recurring themes: sovereignty, economics, geography, information poverty, the Federal Communications Commission and a Tribal Broadband Fund. The study found that honoring the tribes' sovereignty, in all matters related to ICT, is the most effective means for bridging the digital divide. The co-creator model is posited as a first step in establishing the proper working relationship between the tribes and the federal government, thereby addressing the root of the digital divide in Indian Country.

'Telecommunications Technology and Native Americans: Opportunities and Challenges' examines the potential of telecommunications to improve the socioeconomic conditions of Native Americans - American Indians, Alaska Natives, and Native Hawaiians - living in rural, remote areas, and to help them maintain their cultures and exercise control over their lives and destinies. The report discusses the opportunities for Native Americans to use telecommunications (including computer networking, videoconferencing, multimedia, digital and wireless technologies, and the like) in the realms of culture, education, health care, economic development, and governance. It also explores the challenges and barriers to realizing these opportunities, notably the need to improve the technology infrastructure (and access to it), technical training, leadership, strategic partnerships, and telecommunications planning on Indian reservations and in Alaska Native villages and Native Hawaiian communities. Prepared at the request of the Senate Committee on Indian Affairs, this is the first federal government report on Native American telecommunications. It provides a framework for technology planning and policy actions by Congress and relevant federal agencies, as well as by Native leaders and governments. Native Americans were involved throughout the study. OTA made site visits to six states and consulted with Native leaders and technology experts in about two dozen other states. Computer networking was used extensively for research and outreach, and OTA developed the Native American Resource Page for this study, a World Wide Web home page accessible via OTA Online (http://www.ota.gov/nativea.html).
