Our Mission

Mission Statement: NAPT shares Native stories with the world.

Native American Public Telecommunications (NAPT) supports the creation, promotion and distribution of Native public media. We accomplish this by:

  • Producing and developing educational telecommunication programs for all media including public television and public radio.

  • Distributing and encouraging the broadest use of such educational telecommunications programs.

  • Providing training opportunities to encourage increasing numbers of American Indians and Alaska Natives to produce quality public broadcasting programs.

  • Promoting increased control and use of information technologies by American Indians and Alaska Natives.

  • Providing leadership in creating awareness of and developing telecommunications policies favorable to American Indians and Alaska Natives.

  • Building partnerships to develop and implement telecommunications projects with tribal nations, Indian organizations, and native communities.
