Something New in the Air

This books follows the development of an indigenous television broadcasting industry by Canada's First Peoples. The author analyses the growth of this industry from the 1960s to the present. According to the publishers:

Lorna Roth focuses on the regional, national, and global implications of Television Northern Canada and the Aboriginal Peoples Television Network (APTN), the only dedicated aboriginal television service in the world and available to every household in Canada with cable and satellite. She shows that by making their programming an integral part of the Canadian broadcasting infrastructure, First Peoples have succeeded in mediating their own historically ruptured pasts and creating a provocative model for media resistance.
