Indigenous communities building a digital future on their terms
Indigenous Connectivity Summit 2022

Shaping Indigenous Connectivity
Indigenous communities are among the most underserved with internet access throughout North America.
The Indigenous Connectivity Summit brings together Indigenous community members, leaders, network operators, researchers and policymakers with a common goal: to connect Indigenous communities to fast, affordable and sustainable internet.
The 2022 Summit in Winnipeg was the 6th annual summit and the first hosted by the newly formed Indigenous Connectivity Institute, marking the transition to a truly Indigenous-led event.
Attendees came together in person for the first time since 2019 for community-driven presentations and panels, and to work together to craft policy recommendations to guide advocacy efforts for the coming year.
