Lone Eagle Consulting's
Native Self-Empowerment Webtour
Click through this webtour online at
http://lone-eagles.com/NTIA-big-sky.html
IMPORTANT NOTE:
At the end of this webtour, marked by flaming animations, are 3 short videos that will
challenge your creative imagination
for what you can do as 4 billion
young, mostly poor, people come online for the first time; by 2020.
Well worth the 20 minutes to view all three.
Native youth, given broadband access, even limited to smartphones, now have a global voice,
and the choice as to how to use it; specifically to share traditional Native values for all
global citizens to be stewards of the Earth, and of our one human family.
“We’re
all in the same canoe, and we all need to learn how to paddle in the same
direction."

resources follow, please invest 8 minutes of your time to view the

Exceptionally well done video showing cultural relevance of basketball in Alaska Native villages.
A unique grassroots organization that started 18 years ago for local grassroots champions
exploring the benefits of citizens building local community capacity, online, initially using BBS's.
We've come full circle, with federal agencies now realizing how essential local grassroots champions
are for promoting the benefits of "getting online" which is now called "broadband adoption."

From my former student Dileep Agrawal, now an ISP in Katmandu, Nepal
Challenges and benefits of rural broadband in the Nepalese Himalayas
The contribution of broadband penetration to economic growth has been
established
by numerous studies. In order to unleash these benefits,
first of all, the infrastructure
must be built. Despite the challenges
of geography and power, we have been involved
in extending Internet to
remote village communities in Nepal primarily using unlicensed
wireless
technologies. My presentation will focus on how we are achieving this
and the
immediate benefits it brings. Most of our connectivity in
rural areas is 1Mbps or less,
which would not qualify as broadband in
America under FCC’s guidelines.
However, this “narrowband”
connectivity is sufficient to enable Skype video
conferencing, watch
educational videos, share online media, access social networking sites,
receive payments, and in general, “get connected”. I will present 5
case studies of how
connectivity is being used in rural Nepal for the
betterment of the entire community.

The
Hole in Wall experiment in India demonstrated how kids taught
themselves
how to use a computer placed in a hole in the wall.
Here's a recent 18 minute
TED talk from that project founder - related
to Love of Learning, models for
self-directed learning where
teachers are not affordable, and kids as the global solution.
Note: The Granny Cloud refers to Elders mentoring youth as they engage
in self-directed
digital learning - simply by giving youth
encouragement and attention: Most youth need
a minimum of five adult
mentors to encourage learning, and the 'the love of learning.'
