This con"espondence is similar to the regular mail, faxes, and phone calls which organil.ations such as SAIIC have t•·aditionally used to communicate with board members, s upporters, and other organizations. The advantage of email is that it allows the sending of mail messages and computer files vi.ttually instantaneously and often cheaper than other means of communication. A second broad category of infotmation on the Internet is that which is disttibuted via listserv lists, PeaceNet confer"ences, Usenet News Groups, etc. They operate like newsletters to which people subscribe and then t"eceive r"egUlar mailings. These subscli ption lists ru"e useful for distributing news t-eports, wogent action alerts, announcements and other infotmation which may be of a dated natw·e. It is fot· these pw-poses that SAIIC established the saiic.indio confet"ence on PeaceNet last fall. A final broad category ofinf01mation available on the Internet is that found in electronic archives, including ITP, Gophet; and World-Wide Web sites. Organizations can use these archives to post an electronic copy of a brochUl'e describing the group's work, manifestos and Native American Radio Talk Show Debuts A me1ican Indian Radio on Satellite r-1(AIROS), which started pt-og~-am­ ming for and about Native Ameri cans last fall to Native-owned and public radio statiorlS, began a daily Native talk show on June 5. George Tige1; Muscogee (Creek), hosts Native America Calling, a live call-in program that explor'eS the full range of Native American life and culture, with topics such as hibal politics, rut, music, humor, storytelling, gruning and religious freedom. The onehour daily progrrun can be heru-d on tlibal.and public radio stations in the United States each Monday through F'liday at 1 p.m. Eastem time. Native Ameri ca Calling is produced at public radio station KUNM on the campus of the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque. It is a co-production of the Native American Public Br-oadcasting Conso1 tium and the Alaska Public Radio Network. Listeners o:zn stay abreast of new pro· gro.ms developments and new Sl<llions 36 declarations, past issues of newsletters, and other information which may have on-going value for the organization, its suppo1 ters, and the public at large. For example, SAIIC has placed a copy of its brochw-e on PeaceNet where people desiring more information on the organization can access it via FTP, Gophe1; or the World-Wide Web. Often weak infrashu cture and the lack of basic services such as phone lines, pruticulru·ly in remote areas, makes developing computer networks very difficult. In Africa activists at-e beginning to hook up to low-earth orbiting satellites in order to connect to computer network resources. For example, the NGO Volunteers in Technical Assistance (VITA) has assisted organizations in remote ru"eas ofTan7.ania wher-e there is no electl'icity or phone service to communicate '~a email and the Internet. F'l-om most anywhere in the world, a person \vith the appropriate equipment can send and l"eceive messages t\'~ce daily via a low orbit satellite. These lowearth orbiting sateUites have not been used extensively in Mexico, Central and South Ametica. Using this technology, Indigenous people can create their own computer networks in order to strengthen their otoganizations and defend their way of life.
