Seven Star Communities: Calling for Applications for a New Initiative to Recognize Native Entities

Seven Star Communities is a new initiative to honor and celebrate Native nations accomplishing digital inclusion work. The Seven Star Communities program hopes to highlight outstanding work, and also provide an opportunity for Native nations to learn from each other. The application for Seven Star Communities 2024 will open towards the end of August. Seven Star Communities are Tribal governments, Native entities and organizations that are working toward digitally inclusive communities. The entities selected as Seven Star Communities provide models for sustainable solutions to support their digital inclusion ecosystem and address educational, health, economic, cultural, and social needs. The materials submitted in consideration of the Seven Star recognition will be public information for other communities to learn how other Native communities are adapting digital inclusion efforts in innovative ways and practicing effective, sustainable self-governance.
