FNX First Nations Experience is a public television channel in the United States that focuses on Native American and Indigenous cultures. Its programming draws from documentary, educational, and cultural content produced by and about tribal communities across the country.

News and public affairs segments occasionally cover issues affecting tribal nations, while lifestyle and arts programming highlights crafts, cuisine, and storytelling. The channel does not carry sports, shopping, or religious broadcasts.

FNX is available over the air on participating PBS member stations and through some cable systems. Its schedule is published on the channel’s website, where select programs can also be streamed on demand. The channel’s content is curated to reflect the diversity of Native voices, without relying on reruns of mainstream entertainment or imported shows. Viewers looking for material on Indigenous history, language preservation, or environmental stewardship will find relevant documentaries and interviews. No specific hosts or presenters are featured regularly; instead, the programs themselves carry the narrative.
