Abstract: According to the reviewer, Lorna Roth, in her book, Something New in the Air: The Story of First Peoples Television Broadcasting in Canada, examines the success the First Peoples of Canada have had in using the mass medium of television as a tool to counter the negative Indian stereotypes promulgated by Hollywood films, American television, and EuroCanadian television programming and as a voice to extend their own messages and images to all of Canada.
