Introducing the Indigenous Connectivity Advisory Committee
The leaders that will shape the future of the Indigenous Connectivity Institute
We created the Indigenous Connectivity Institute as an organization by and for Indigenous communities to define a digital future on their terms. And so, I’m delighted the Institute is taking the next step in that journey as we announce its inaugural Advisory Committee.
Representing Indigenous communities from Hawaii to the Canadian Arctic, we’re fortunate to have some of the leading voices in North America join us to take the Institute forward in the months and years ahead.
This group will give strategic advice to the Connect Humanity team on our Indigenous work and collaborate closely on the development of the ICI, ensuring community is at the center of all we do.
