Press release from the Yurok Tribe:
The
Yurok Tribe recently celebrated a major milestone in the Yurok
Connect Broadband Project.
Yesterday
afternoon, the Yurok Connect team finished the installation of a new
150-foot tower in Wautec and linked the first customers to the
high-speed internet service. Located in the most remote part of the
Yurok Reservation, the tower is providing first-time internet access
to dozens of families and several tribal elders.
Yurok Tribal Council Member Mindy Natt and her son Andrew James Lewis V attended a grand opening celebration for the new Yurok Connect service. The Pecwan District Representative is excited about the new internet infrastructure and what it means for tribal youth and elders. Photos: Yurok Tribe.
