FFB Week 20 – Project Nunapet: Connecting Tribal Communities and Culture Across Kodiak Island
May 14 @ 10:00 am - 10:30 am
In this week’s Fiber for Breakfast episode, we spotlight Project Nunapet—a groundbreaking broadband initiative bringing high-speed internet to four Tribal communities in Alaska’s Kodiak Archipelago. Named after the Alutiiq word for “our lands,” Project Nunapet reflects the enduring connection between the Alutiiq people and the land and sea.
Through a powerful collaboration between Old Harbor Native Corporation and Alaska Communications—and funded by a Tribal Broadband Connectivity Program Round 2 grant from the NTIA—this project will deliver Gigabit-speed service to 570 homes across the communities of Old Harbor, Chiniak, Akhiok, and Womens Bay.
Join us as Kristina Woolston, CEO of Old Harbor Native Corporation, shares the story of this transformative project with Gary Bolton, President & CEO of the Fiber Broadband Association. Learn how 155 miles of subsea fiber and an extensive last-mile network are bridging the digital divide and supporting education, healthcare, economic growth, and cultural preservation for generations to come.
