    How Trump's cuts to public media threaten the first Native American station


On October 1, 2025, public radio stations lost all of their federal funding — and for Black and Native American community stations, the cuts hit hard. Case in point, KYUK in Bethel, Alaska, which was the first Indigenous-led public radio station. They lost 70% their budget after federal public media cuts, and will be shrinking from 10 full-time staffers, to 4 people. We speak to Esther Green, a Yupik elder, and her co-host Diane McEarchren of KYUK’s spiritual wellness show, Ikayutet, and station general manager Kristin Hall, about what the future looks like for the station.
