CIYR-FM is a Canadian radio station, broadcasting at 93.7 FM serving the Potlotek First Nation, Nova Scotia.[1] The station broadcasts a First Nations-oriented community radio format branded as Mniku Radio.[2]
The station was licensed by the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission on November 17, 2017,[3] and launched in August 2018.
The station produces programming in both English and Mi'kmaq.[3] As part of efforts to preserve the endangered Mi'kmaq language, its Mi'kmaq programming includes daily "word of the day" and "phrase of the day" educational features.[2] The name "Mniku" means "island" in Mi'kmaq,[4] and refers to Chapel Island in the Potlotek First Nation's territory.

Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
