DAN GUNDERSEN: Winona LaDuke heads the nonprofit White Earth Land Recovery Project and is starting a station on the White Earth Reservation. She says the stations will provide a vital information source for local residents. She also hopes to raise the profile of American Indian issues.

WINONA LADUKE: Being invisible has helped marginalize us. And I would say that if you are poor, rural, and Ojibwe, your shot of getting a year at the legislature is a lot lower. So I'm hoping that this will allow our stories to get out.

DAN GUNDERSEN: Radio stations are now serving the White Earth, [? Cass ?] lake, Nett lake, and Fond Du Lac reservations. The stations all plan to rely heavily on volunteers to provide local programming. Dan Gundersen, Minnesota Public Radio news, Calloway.
