INDIGENOUS POLICY PLANS FOR 2008-09 - WE INVITE YOUR HELP AND INPUT
We hope that you are
having a fine fall. This 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 beginning summer 2006, a summer issue serving as
the Proceedings of the Western Social Science Association
Meeting American Indian Studies Section, with Steve Sachs,
Paula Mohan, Phil Bellfy, Ignacio Ochoa, Michael Posluns,
and Annalise
Romoser as Coeditors. 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 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 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.
Our process is for submissions
to go to Steve Sachs, who drafts each regular issue. Unsigned
items are by Steve. Paula Mohan, Phil Bellfy, Ignacio Ochoa
and Michael Posluns then make editing suggestions to Steve.
Phil puts this Journal on the web,
GUIDE TO SUBMITTING WRITINGS TO IPJ
We most welcome
submissions of articles, commentary, news, media notes and
announcements in some way relating to American Indian or international
indigenous policy issues, broadly defined. Please send all
submissions electronically attached to E-mail to Steve Sachs:
ssachs@earthlink.net, or on disk, at: 1916 San Pedro, NE,
Albuquerque, NM, 87110. If you send writings in Word format,
we know we can work with them. We can translate some, but
not all other formats into word. If you have notes in your
submission, please put them in manually, as end notes as part
of the text. Do not use an automated foot/end note system
that numbers the notes as you go and put them in a footer.
(such automated notes are often lost, and if not, may appear
elsewhere in the journal, and not in your article, as several
writings are posted together in the same file. The one
exception is the Proceedings of the AIS section at the WSSA
meeting, in summer issues, where each article is kept
in its own file, and it is O.K to use an automated note system.
If you use any tables in a submission, please send a separate
file(s) for them, as it is impossible to work with them
to put on the web when they are an integral part of a Word
text. Some other format/style things are helpful to us, and
appreciated, but not an absolute requirement. As we publish
in 12 point Times font, with single spacing, and a space between
paragraphs, it saves us work if we receive writings that way.
Many thanks. We look forward to seeing what you send us.
