Daybreak Star radio is an international online radio station dedicated to indigenous music.
About 95% of the aired songs are written, produced or performed by native American or First Nation peoples.
This includes Pacific Northwest musicians like Lightfoot, Black Belt Eagle Scout, and Blue Flames.
The initiative was a collaboration between Michael Tulee, Executive Director of the United Indians of All Tribes Foundation, long time DJ, Harris Francis, and station manager, Sherry Steele, who is also an enrolled member of the Peoria Tribe of Oklahoma.
Accessible by the internet, the station broadcasts digitally from the Daybreak Star Cultural Center in Seattle's Discovery Park.
Daybreak Star radio will release an Android and IOS app in the coming weeks.
