ABSTRACT
The project of establishing the Hopis’ first locally-based public radio station was a major effort to promote Hopi culture and to improve media infrastructure on the Hopi Reservation. The “Hopi Radio Project” was undertaken by the Hopi Foundation. Today, the project already has a history, as its aims were realized with the launching of KUYI-FM in December 2000. This revolutionary media development has already in a short space of time had an impact on Hopi cultural survival and reconstruction.
