Confederated Tribes of the Colville Reservation Community Mobile Application
The Indigenous residents of the Colville Reservation confront a growing digital divide, hindering centralized information dissemination. While a Facebook group and email reach the reservation’s 9,000+ residents, residents express dissatisfaction with the current decentralized system. Our project tackles this divide by developing a user-friendly mobile application which serves as a centralized platform for reservation-wide resources and announcements, including connecting residents with internet accessibility programs and community engagement features. This project seeks to empower the Colville Tribes through improved communication and community engagement.
