August 7, 2026 – The Hoopa Valley Tribe has opened a new data center that will serve as the operational hub for its tribally-owned broadband network.
The Hoopa Valley Public Utilities District celebrated the grand opening of its new data center last month, marking a milestone in the Hoopa Valley Tribe’s effort to expand high-speed internet access across the Hoopa Valley Indian Reservation, Willow Creek, and Trinity County.
“This is truly a great day for the Hoopa Valley Tribe, for the department and for the Hoopa people,” Hoopa Valley Tribal Vice Chairman Jordan Hailey said. “It makes me proud as a Hoopa Tribal member and a member of this community to see everything that they’ve accomplished.”
