The second area of focus is the provision of training. The primary training objective is to provide basic internet skills to as many community members as possible. In addition, classes are being offered in HTML development. Advanced focus training will be given to those who will administer the network after the gant period ends. Finally the project will create a community network based on the model of the Boulder Community Network.
Key concepts are the involvement of community members in the design and maintenance of the site.
For those community members who do not have a network connection to the system, there will be a dial-up pool providing community access to the system. Deploying the technology across the community in a systemic and consistent fashion, the project hopes to become sustainable by creating critical mass of usage. It is expected that enhancements in tribal activities and new partnerships will serve as a model to other Native American tribes and their communities.
