Native American Radio Stations Directory

Native Americans have built a strong network of 45 public radio stations that provide a lifeline to their communities. These stations bring a contemporary voice, often in Native languages, that evokes the oral traditions of a cultural heritage centuries in the making.

Native radio is local radio. It reaches vast stretches of tribal lands that still hold pockets of villages and isolated homes, some without electricity. Radio’s portability and 24/7 presence help Native stations carry the information that no other media is there to deliver.

When trouble comes in the form of flash floods, wildfire, or matters of public safety, Native radio is the first and often only information source. When there is occasion for celebration, Native radio links families, clans, and communities with news of births, marriages, school events and sports victories. Tribal governments, Indian Health services and others use Native radio to help inform, educate and mobilize their constituents.

Native Public Media is proud to work with, foster and learn from this powerful coalition of Native voices.
