This report discusses: (1) the status of telecommunications subscribership for Native Americans living on tribal lands; (2) fed. programs available for improving telecommunications on these lands; (3) barriers to improvements; & (4) how some tribes are addressing these barriers. Includes recommendations. Charts & tables.
