Access to the digital world requires quality internet service. There are 10,000 people living on the Blackfeet reservation. About 1,000 live in Browning, the reservation’s population center 30 miles from New Breast’s home. Less than half the reservation has standard broadband access, according to the Bureau of Indian Affairs.
