INDIGENOUS POLICY PLANS FOR 2003-04
WE INVITE YOUR HELP AND INPUT

We hope that you are having a fine Spring. This journal is now available on the web with via e-mail notification of new issues at no charge. Indigenous Policy puts out two regular issues a year (Spring and Fall) with Steve Sachs, Paula Mohan, Phil Bellfy and Anne McCulloch as Co-editors. We are seeking additional editors, columnists and commentators for regular issues, and editors or editorial groups for special issues, and short articles for each issue.

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 plan to have a special issue on international indigenous affairs this summer. 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 ISN news and business so that these pages can be a source of ISN communication and dialoguing as well as circular letters and annual meetings at APSA. This issue carries a continuing series of columns by Michael Posluns of York University, on Canadian First Nations developments. In addition to being the newsletter/journal of the Native American Studies Association, 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 newsletter. 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.

Our process is for submissions to go to Steve Sachs, who drafts each regular issue. Unsigned items are by Steve. Anne McCulloch, Paula Mohan and Phil Bellfy then make editing suggestions to Steve. Phil puts this Journal on the web.
