Chances are if you live on an American Indian reservation you experience poor internet service. It's one disparity that was revealed to many Natives during this pandemic. Trying to connect to the web is spotty in many cases and non existent in others. In 2019, the American Indian Policy Institute at Arizona State University found that 18-percent of people who live on tribal reservations did not have access to the internet. They also found that 33-percent relied solely on cell phones for internet service. The cost of broadband is another barrier to access.

A new school in Lincoln, Nebraska will be named Standing Bear High School. The board of education voted unanimously for the name. It's set to open in 2023. Standing Bear was a leader of the Ponca Tribe. He won the landmark case, Standing Bear v. Crook in 1879. It recognized that an Indian is a "person" under the law and entitled to rights and protection. Standing Bear's speech in the courtroom was a defining moment. He said, quote: "That hand is not the color of yours, but if I prick it, the blood will flow, and I shall feel pain. The blood is of the same color as yours. God made me, and I am a Man." Joining us to share the story of Standing Bear is Larry Wright Jr., chairman of the Ponca Tribe of Nebraska. It's the 50th anniversary of the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act, which set up a unique way the federal government would deal with Alaska Natives and land management. ANCSA established 13 for-profit Alaska Native regional corporations, and more than 200 for-profit village corporations. More than 44 million acres of land was divided between the corporations, in exchange for the extinguishment of Indigenous land claims. Alaska Natives and their descendants are the shareholders for these corporations, leading to a new type of Federal policy tied to corporate ownership rather than lands in trust. Today, the corporations provide social services, cultural programs, jobs, and scholarships for the Alaska Native people they serve. But as a piece of legislation that is open to amendments, the Alaska Native corporate system is still evolving. As the 50th Anniversary for this landmark legislation approaches, Indian Country Today will be examining some of the critical issues and debates surrounding ANCSA. Joining us today is ICT journalist Meghan Sullivan, who is overseeing our coverage of ANCSA.

As a child she loved to talk and that?s what also helped her win over the voters. She?s chosen to tell her story in a children?s book, ?Sharice?s Big Voice: A Native Kid Becomes A Congresswoman.? Marty Two Bulls, Sr. is an award winning cartoonist. He was nominated for the Pulitzer Prize, but didn?t win. In fact, nobody won. The reason: ?no consensus pick emerged.? Marty?s primary client is the South Dakota-based Lakota Times. The Pulitzer Board described his work as ?innovative and insightful cartoons that offer a Native American perspective on contemporary news events.? Two Bulls joins us today.
