"If we allow the Indian model to revive and be useful, the disparity between humans and technology will begin to diminish. Then the ability to conceptualize contemporary problems— the environment, the ozone layer, ecology, science itself— can emerge. You would have scientists who come from a more harmonious and balanced sense of who they are as a people." —Carlos Cordero, “Reviving Native Technologies”

The Internet is a very important tool to us in the modern day, and as such it should be natural that everyone gets equal rights to access the internet. But reading though the chapters of "Network Sovereignty" , it is appalling that the native people have to go thought so many different channels, laws, and sometimes needing to fight for it. Despite how much the world relies on the internet however, it is still being locked behind certain regions and only allowed access to certain people - mainly people who can afford it/afford to go to the places which has it.

On a different note; Tribal Sovereignty should've been a right granted to all native people within America, as it is their right to what decisions happen regarding the members of their tribe. However with how they're basically denied access to the internet most of the time, and how people who seemingly don't know enough about the tribe will continue to "document" and write about them online. If given access to the internet, and better authority over what is written about them online and within documentation, this can be solved better. And this isn't just about giving them just the technology either, you can't just give them a phone without internet access and expect to solve all the problems; We need to work towards giving all people in the world, regardless of their status, access to the internet.
