INDIGENOUS POLICY PLANS FOR 2010-11 – WE INVITE YOUR HELP AND INPUT --CALL FOR PAPERS DEADLINE FOR OUR NEXT ISSUE IS APRIL 8

We hope that you are having a fine Spring. The Indigenous Policy journal is available on the web with e-mail notification of new issues at no charge. Indigenous Policy puts out two regular issues a year (Spring and Fall), and since summer 2006, a summer issue serving as the Proceedings of the Western Social Science Association Meeting American Indian Studies Section. We are seeking additional Editorial Advisory Board members, columnists and commentators for regular issues, and editors or editorial groups for special issues, and articles for each issue. As IP J is now a refereed journal, articles are being posted on a different schedule from the rest of the journal.

Jeff Corntassel and colleagues put together a special winter 2002 issue with a focus on “federal recognition and Indian Sovereignty at the turn of the century.” We had a special issue on international Indigenous affairs summer 2004. We invite short articles, reports, announcements and reviews of meetings, media and media, programs and events, and short reports of news, commentary and exchange of views, as well as willingness to put together special issues.

Send us your thoughts and queries about issues and interests and replies can be printed in the next issue and/or made by e-mail. In addition, we will carry Indigenous Studies Network (ISN) news and business so that these pages can be a source of ISN communication and dialoguing in addition to circular letters and annual meetings at APSA. In addition to being the newsletter/journal of the Indigenous Studies Network, we collaborate with the Native American Studies Section of the Western Social Science Association (WSSA) and provide a dialoguing vehicle for all our readers. This is your publication. Please let us know if you would like to see more, additional, different, or less coverage of certain topics, or a different approach or format.

IPJ is now a refereed journal. Submissions of articles should go to Phil Bellfy. bellfy@msu.edu, who will send them out for review. Our process is for non-article submissions to go to Steve Sachs, who drafts each regular issue. Unsigned items are by Steve. Paula Mohan, Phil Bellfy, Ignacio Ochoa and Michael (Mickey) Posluns then make editing suggestions to Steve. Thomas Brasdefer has reformatted the journal and is now responsible for posting the Journal on the web.
