The First Nations Experience has cooking shows, news, movies, documentaries and even cartoons, all created by Native Americans.
In the days when there seems to be an app for everything, comes a first. The First Nations Experience or FNX has launched a free 24-hour all Native American streaming platform for Smart TVs and Apple and Android devices. The creators say they want to educate their communities on their history and show non-natives that indigenous cultures have not only survived; they're thriving.
He said FNX started more than a decade ago when KVCR, the PBS station in San Bernardino had an opportunity to launch digital subchannels. They got the idea for an all-Native channel and approached the San Manuel Band of Mission Indians, which owns the Yaamava' Casino. The tribe has donated $6 million to FNX and recently gave them another $1.5 million to buy more content and launch the app.
