Two indigenous groups, the Original Women's Network in North America, and the Confederation of Ecuadorean Indigenous Nationalities in South America have joined together to create a series of radio programs as part of the continental campaign' '500 Years of Indigenous and Popular Resistance,'' a response by native people to 500 years of colonialism in the Americas. Production of 120 newscasts has begun.

Fifty percent of these will reflect the views of First Nation's Women of the Americas and will be sold to the Women's International News Gathering Service in the United States which has links with 140 non commercial radio stations in 40 countries and over a million listeners. The Network will also distribute completed newscasts to existing First Nation's radio stations and make cassettes available to grassroots and community groups.
