Grant Overview
South Dakota's Native communities face significant risks in terms of digital literacy, with 40% of Native American households lacking broadband access. The state's rugged terrain and sparse population make it challenging to deliver technology training programs. To be eligible for funding, applicants must demonstrate an understanding of these risks and compliance with state and federal regulations regarding Native American communities. Risk and Compliance in South Dakota require applicants to show how they will address the unique challenges faced by Native communities, including historical trauma and ongoing disparities. South Dakota's Native Communities are characterized by high rates of poverty and unemployment, making digital literacy a critical skill for economic opportunity. By focusing on skills that facilitate remote work, the initiative aims to bridge the digital divide and foster economic opportunities. Unlike neighboring North Dakota, South Dakota requires applicants to demonstrate a specific understanding of its Native American reservations' geography and how it affects technology access. South Dakota's Infrastructure, including its limited broadband availability, hinders digital literacy efforts, making it essential for applicants to show how they will address these gaps. The demographic makeup of South Dakota, with a significant Native American population (9%), necessitates culturally sensitive technology training initiatives. The state's economic context, with major industries in agriculture and tourism, relies on a workforce with basic digital skills, making technology training a priority.
