Juneau, Alaska (KINY) - After previously receiving a collection of recordings of Southeast Native Radio and other valuable programs in 2010, Sealaska Heritage Institute is moving forward with processing the recordings through a grant that supports the preservation of rare and unique audio.
Southeast Native Radio was broadcasted by KTOO in Juneau from 1985 to 2001 and informed Alaskans about Native topics.
Topics included politics, religion, subsistence, land claims, political movements, women’s issues, cultural survival, and language documentation.
Also within the collection is a 13-part series on the history of the Alaska Native Brotherhood and Tlingit language segments from the annual program Live day.
