Niijii Radio in Minnesota faces closure after losing $180,000 in federal funding, threatening its state grant and community service.
Niijii Radio (KKWE) in Callaway, Minnesota, faces potential closure after losing $180,000 in federal funding, a 40% revenue cut that threatens its $150,000 state grant if staff reductions occur.
The station, serving the White Earth Nation and non-Native listeners, provides culturally significant programming, news, and community content with just four staff members.
General Manager Margaret Rousu calls the funding elimination a “tragic” blow, warning of devastating impacts on Native and non-Native communities.
Critics argue the decision, based on unproven claims of liberal bias, reflects misplaced priorities amid other federal spending.
The station is seeking private foundation support, with a decision expected in three to six months.
