Indigenous Resilience Network

An indigenous-led network promoting workforce development, broadband strategies, digital skills, and community enrichment backed by the N50 global alliance.
We work alongside Indigenous communities to provide skills that strengthen digital inclusion and help local stakeholders reach their highest goals.
Geeks’ Tribal Broadband Initiative has a proven track record helping Native American Tribes to develop sustainable broadband strategies, obtain funding, and implement digital skills and workforce development programs.
Now, Geeks Without Frontiers & the N50 Project are seeking partners and seed funding to expand this work through the Indigenous Resilience Network (IRN), a platform for workforce development, digital skills, and inter-community broadband cooperatives, led by Indigenous subject matter experts.
