Providing the critical communications support Indian Country needs.
Resumen
Not only business partners, but tribal community partners.
Our customers within Indian Country have needs and priorities that differ from other government agencies. Because of these notable differences, in 2011 we created the Verizon Sovereign Nation team to establish meaningful and successful tribal relationships – not only as business partners, but as tribal community partners.
Network expansion and 4G LTE upgrades in tribal communities have steadily progressed. Verizon is committed to continued support and engagement with our Sovereign Nation and Alaska Native customers. Verizon helps bring tribal communities together with innovative solutions.
Each division within Verizon has a dedicated member aligned for tribal engagement.
Verizon Frontline Crisis Response Team Hotline

Qualified tribal agencies can receive discounted broadband and voice plans—so underserved communities can get the access they need.
