The Yurok Connect Broadband Project team finished installing a new 150-foot tower in Wautec yesterday, linking one of the remote parts of the Yurok Reservation to high-speed internet. “Access to high-speed internet will significantly improve the everyday lives of Yurok citizens and non-Indian reservation residents,” said Yurok Tribal Chair Joseph L. James. “This project will facilitate progress in several key areas, including, education, healthcare and economic development. When it comes to developing a prosperous community, internet access is just as important as the basic utilities.”
