Description:
This is a story that I came across on the straight.com on Denise Williams (a member of the Cowichan Tribe) who is a youth initiative officer for the First Nations Education Steering Committee.  Williams believes that broadband internet access will aid the FN in BC by expanding opportunities available to them, many of which live in rural and/or remote reserves.  She strongly feels that having high-speed internet will greatly improve the delivery of distance education where numbers, distance and proximity make delivery of education very expensive.
