Storytelling for Local Strength

Too often, Alaska Native’s get portrayed in the media as victims of climate change. Our three-and-a-half-year, $325,000 grant enables the Koahnic Broadcast Corporation to produce radio stories and web-based media focused on strategies used by area Natives to adapt and build resilience. By showcasing local solutions, Koahnic aims to increase understanding and awareness about the realities of climate change and the ingenious ways people find to adapt.

Why Koahnic Broadcast Corporation?
