Native Public Media
Found in 2004, Native Public Media (NPM) is a national center dedicated to advocating and providing support services to Indigenous radio and television broadcast stations. Broadcast facilities across the nation include: commercial, non-commercial, educational, full power, low power, FM, AM, analog, and digital stations. NPM’s mission to promote the self-determination of indigenous peoples through media access, story-telling, and ownership.
Indigenous radio and television stations play a vital role in promoting the safety, sovereignty, and stability of indigenous communities. These broadcast facilities provide vital information upon which Tribal citizens can make informed decisions. Stations share this information through storytelling, delivering critically important health information, hyperlocal news, civic engagement, and emergency communications for predominately rural and remote Tribal lands. Fifty-seven indigenous radio stations and three television stations benefit from NPM programs in regulatory compliance, self-governance, technical assistance, training, policymaking, and operations development.
