Title: Community-based broadband organizations and video communications for remote and rural First Nations in Canada

Abstract: ''This research demonstrates how two community-based First Nations’ organizations use video communications on broadband networks to support socio-economic development. This study situates K-Net and the Atlantic Help Desk within a broader social movement, working toward self-determination for First Nations in Canada, through the use of video communications. Video communications within broadband networks include videoconferences (live and archived) and online videos. The research methodology includes an analysis of hundreds of videoconferences and videos archived by the two organizations as well as interviews with key informants.''
