What about KTNN, Window Rock AZ 660 kHz 50 kW DA-N (two towers). KTNN is one
of the finest AM facilities in the U.S. except for the fact that the
population density near the station is nearly zero. I believe that KTNN is
located on a reservation and is owned by Native Americans (who probably call
themselves Indians). Did you see the movie "Smoke Signals"? The movie, which
was outstanding, was written, produced, and acted by Native Americans who
never once referred to themselves by that term; they always called
themselves Indians.
