Tanana Chiefs Conference Awarded $35 Million Grant To Bring Broadband To Rural Alaska Villages

Tanana Chiefs Conference (TCC) has secured a significant $35 million grant to bring high-speed broadband to underserved communities in Alaska. The project, which is part of the larger Alaska FiberOptic Project, aims to establish a 100% fiber-based network in three villages: Venetie, Chalkyitsik, and Circle.

The Alaska FiberOptic Project is a collaborative effort involving several key entities, including Calista Corporation, Doyon, Limited, Gana-A ‘Yoo Limited, Tanana Chiefs Conference, and Alaska Communications. This initiative intends to connect over 20 communities in Alaska's Yukon and Kuskokwim regions, starting from Fairbanks and extending all the way to the Bering Sea Coast. The network will begin in Fort Yukon and stretch to Venetie, with a submarine fiber cable to be laid in the Yukon River, connecting Fort Yukon and Circle. The result will be Gigabit-speed internet access for residents and businesses through fiber-to-the-home connections.

The lack of reliable connectivity has long been a barrier to progress in education, healthcare, economic opportunities, and overall well-being for Alaska's rural communities. Brian Ridley, Chief and Chairman of Tanana Chiefs Conference, emphasized the importance of addressing this digital divide and expressed gratitude for the grant. He highlighted the collaboration with Native Corporation partners, government entities, and Alaska Communications in working toward digital equity for Alaska Native Villages.

I decided to reread all of my John Green books at the beginning of the month, because (to say this in the style of John Green) 1. I haven't read them in at least five years even though I used to reread them all the time when I was a teenager, 2. it's been a while since I read fiction and I wanted to read something non-demanding and 3. now is the perfect time because I'm on vacation. So I started with An Abundance of Katherines because it was my favorite towards the end of my John Green phase, and I still really like it. Then I started Looking for Alaska, which was my favorite book for a really long time and which I've probably read the most out of all of them, and I realized that while I completely understand why I loved it so much when I was fourteen, it doesn't hold up as well in my early twenties. That doesn't mean it's bad or anything, it just means I'm not the target audience anymore. I also realized that I thought every character was interesting but I found Pudge to be incredibly annoying a lot of the time (and I get that's kind of the point because he's a teen), and I realized how much I loved Alaska as a character and how much I thought she deserved better and how much I would love the book if it was from her POV. So anyway I started writing a fic that's basically the story but from her POV, I don't know if I'm gonna finish it but I wrote what is essentially the books first chapter and I really like it (I still can't decide if the title is clever or horrible but I suck a titles anyway and just want other people to name my things for me)

GOSH it’s been awhile since I’ve drawn Alaska. Like draw-draw. I’ve gotten better at beards I think! So I am only further reaching greatness. He will be the him. Handsome fella, his old hearted man thing guy. He should be allowed to be a sweetheart, I know this fella has most certainly cried at animal documentaries when the animal of focus doesnt make it

THEIR BEEF IS INSANE ⁉️ I won’t be providing context to this, I’m too lazy. Imagine beefing with a mortal child while being a centuries years old immortal 🙄 embarrassing… (I’d do the same)

During class today we were discussing once more Alaska Native history and I think about the absolute tragedy of so many families and people being displaced from their homes. Being ransacked and people being dehumanized. I think about how that is actively being done right now in Palestine and it breaks my heart constantly. The same thing that happened to my own people is happening once more. Nearly a year now they have to face the absolute horrors and constantly pushed out of their lands.

There are so many go funds me right now dozens that need funding, but one that I want to link here the boy Named Muhammad who is nicknamed Uncle Tito who is currently in the northern Gaza Strip.

I found his tik tok one day and He performs for the children there to bring hope and some much needed moments of happiness to them. I find that his work he is doing is absolutely important. Key to resistance is joy despite everything and he is bringing that to the kids. I really wanted to highlight him and his own fundraiser.

If anyone could donate anything it can make a difference in his and his families life.

Fan of Russell Crowe? Or his movies?

Good news because there is a Russell Crowe discord server, for anyone interested to join.

Also, it's now set up as a community, so in case you're only interested in like one (1) of his movies you just can have that channel active and can wreak havoc there :)

Thought I'd start another promo because our man seems to have gained some attention on Tumblr.
