It's a good question.
A big part of the network is just that, networking and providing a voice for first nations people. Although the network will be dedicated to first nations language instruction and mother tongue programming, a big part of its activity will be just to provide that link, as you've mentioned, which is so important, not only to share information but to create community, to bring people together, and to share important information as it relates to first nations issues. For example, there could be English programming going out on the national network at some point that all the languages would be interested in hearing in English if it relates to some general concern for first nations people.
