Listen "15: A Silent Emergency"
Episode Synopsis
Northern communities just dropped off the communications map. A wildfire took out cell, internet and landline – unless you had Starlink. The outage has lasted almost 24 hours and it's still going.
Chief Kele Antoine of the Łı́ı́dlı̨ı̨ Kų́ę́ First Nation says we're not paying enough attention to just how dangerous it is when small, isolated villages lose almost all of their ability to communicate. He found a Starlink to talk to us about it.
