As an association of Aboriginal Radio Broadcasters, we are able to coordinate the delivery of promotion and advertising messages into Aboriginal Communities. The Aboriginal Film and Video Arts Alliance, in support of the Association of Indigenous Radio, has produced two 15 minute videos promoting the benefits of Community Radio in Aboriginal communities. The first video describes the philosophy of community radio and its role as a tool for cultural, economic and social development. The second video highlights community and volunteer support to ensure successful broadcasts for the years to come and outlines ten steps to building a strong community radio station.

The people at Keyah feel that they can use their knowledge and experience to help the government communicate in the appropriate language, through the most convenient medium.
