The state of Native radio & capitalism -Joseph Orozco, KIDE-FM
Channel: Rose
Date: 15/06/2012

I met Joseph Orozco, station manager of KIDE 91.3 FM in Hoopa, California, at the National Federation of Community Broadcasters conference in Houston, Texas.

He says Native Americans are the last group of people to use radio. "We have this media vehicle, which is very important and powerful and the state of it is undeveloped" he says.

He believes Native Americans haven't taken a stand because of capitalism and colonization. We're suffering "this onset of capitalism and there's no way we can get out. We can't stop it, so we have to think of a different way to understand it and media is the cornerstone to it."
