Honorable members of the Federal Communications Commission:

I urge you to open up currently unused parts of the TV spectrum (the "white 
spaces") for wireless broadband and other emerging technologies for use by
Native American tribes. Many tribal communities lack or have to work around
expensive dial-up Internet connectivity. Often our tribal departments, such
as Fire and Police, and other vital departments and agencies lack Internet
access. High speed Internet could supply additional adequate and reliable
public safety communication. 

Please help our elders, our families, our children and children's children
opportunity to choose the 21st century mode of communication when
necessary. 

Please do the right thing and approve the opening up of the unused TV
spectrum. It might be one of our best remaining chances to create
affordable and truly universal broadband wireless coverage to our Native
American communities. I urge you to take this rare opportunity to help us
move from the analogue TV to the digital dialogue.
