"In this age of digital satellite downlinks, online streaming and high-tech communications systems, Indian Country is making the most of one of the older, more traditional modes of communications � radio.

Since the early �70s, tribally owned radio stations, as well as community-based and school-licensed stations, have attempted to empower local tribal communities through the use of AM and FM frequencies. Today, there are more than 30 stations serving Indian reservations and Alaska villages.

But my question is, where is the radio station, or stations, for the pueblos along the Rio Grande? I have heard talk of tribes, and/or tribal entities, applying for licenses but have not seen or heard anything definite. There has been talk of buying an already existing station in Santa Fe, but still no official word."
