A top leader at the U.S. Department of Agriculture hailed the successes of the federal agency in its work in Indian Country, in a one-on-one interview with ICT last week.
On Jan. 11, USDA Deputy Secretary Xochitl Torres Small traveled to the Tohono O’odham Nation in Southern Arizona to celebrate the groundbreaking of a new project set to provide high speed and fiber based internet to remote residents of the tribe.
