The
White Earth Land Recovery Project is coordinating an effort to establish the first Indian radio station in Minnesota.
Niijii Broadcast Corporation has been tentatively selected for a
Federal Communications Commission license. Supporters hope to start on the Internet later this year and move to the airwaves next year.
"The communities on the White Earth reservation have been waiting a long time for this station to become a reality, to hear a native voice on the daily radio, is going to be great," Andrea Hanks of Niijii told The Detroit Lakes Tribune.
