National Native News is a United States based public radio headlines package service owned by the Kohanic Broadcast Corporation. It produces and distributes a daily, 5-minute segment of stories and features related to Native American and Canadian First Nations issues which is used by public radio stations to supplement their locally produced news programming.

National Native News was established in 1987 with an initial funding grant from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. It was originally distributed by the Alaska Public Radio Network (APRN) and its broadcast reach limited to Alaska.[1] In 1995 APRN turned over the program to Kohanic Broadcast Corporation, and syndication began shortly thereafter, with programs distributed by the Public Radio satellite system.[2] The program moved is studios to Albuquerque, New Mexico in 2003.[3] It is currently carried on more than 200 radio stations in the U.S. and Canada, including KUT, KHSU, KGOU, KNBA, and others.
