INTRODUCTION

Native Public Media (NPM), is distinguished by its commitment to community voices, open discourse and public service, this is an important time to bring its voice to Washington and to key stakeholders to ensure that new and evolving policies take into account the national need for Native-owned noncommercial community media to promote civic participation and an engaged democracy. In addition to being platforms for public debate and discourse, Native media are lifelines that communicate vital information about public safety, health, community events, and help preserve culture and language, and build community.

To that end, if NPM has a voice amongst policy reform and construction, so will the often marginalized communities it serves. Native Public Media (NPM) promotes healthy, engaged, independent Native communities by strengthening and expanding Native American media capacity and by empowering a strong, proud Native American voice.
