Native Voice One (NV1) educates, advocates, and celebrates Native American life and culture by providing a program service from a Native point of view. This service is for everyone interested in Native American news, culture, music, events, and life.

In the 21st Century, with over 60% of Native Americans living in urban areas, and with the widespread penetration of the internet, podcasting, and other high tech forms of communication, Native Voice One links radio stations and high tech users together, rural and urban Natives together, and is a vital hub for disseminating information and preserving culture from Barrow, Alaska to Oklahoma City well into the new century.

NV1 enables Native people, especially those who do not have access to the many reservation and village-based Native owned and operated stations, to stay connected. Many Native stations and independent radio producers contribute Native-oriented programs to NV1 for inclusion in the NV1 program service.

NV1 broadcasts the Native voice through affiliate Native and other radio stations and via internet radio on http://www.nv1.org/.
