The goal of this project was to recommend strategies for the implementation of a Low Power FM (LPFM) radio station to facilitate communication in a Native American community. We conducted interviews with six tribal radio stations and two tribal radio programs, and separated the responses into three categories; logistics, financials, and topics. Further analysis of background research and transcriptions of interviews allowed us to successfully develop a template for a LPFM radio station in a Native American community. This template will aid in the creation of a LPFM radio station in a Native American community.
