Special Issue: “Indigenous Resurgence”
In honor of our fiftieth year of being a peer-reviewed scholarly journal, we are pleased to publish our next issue that has more Indigenous authors in one issue than any before.
Sneak Peek! Our next issue brings more authors (and more Indigenous authors!) together in one issue than ever before, focusing on “cultures connecting and collaborating at global scales to reassert their political sovereignty in ways that recover their precolonial levels of continental influence.”
REMINDER! Our latest issue guest edited by Paulette Steeves (Cree-Métis, a descendant of First Nations and Métis people) focuses on reviving cultural practices, protecting Indigenous lands, and challenging systemic colonialism.

In our latest issue, Chief Caleen Sisk (Winnemem Wintu) and Marc Dadigan affirm the importance of recognizing that salmon are sentient bearers of ecological wisdom who must be followed rather than controlled and that hatcheries cannot replace the protection of riverine habitat.
In our latest issue, Kristi Leora Gansworth, Anishnabe scholar, examines embodied kinship as a way to envision and articulate a thriving future of embodied interconnection & healing for current & future generations. Gansworth is an assistant professor in Native American studies at Vassar College.

Sneak Peek at our next issue!!! As a guest editor, Dr. Paulette Steeves opens a space for reclaiming and rewriting Indigenous histories, science, and experiences. This collection of essays (December 2025) aims for a “pyroepistemology” that cleanses the scholarly landscape (Steeves 2015).
"In linking iqunga to Derrida’s conception of a spectral truth and haunted conscience, Nkosi effectively and concisely excavates the stakes of settlement and Indigenous alterity."

T. J. Tallie
"Dubcovsky provides an important introduction to an archival methodology that follows the sparse mentions of women; through this work, she
is able to reveal how archives can help us learn about the lives of Black and Native
women."
Review by Delaney McNulty & Robert B. Caldwell
"It is in Legg’s short but powerful ending that researchers and academics are given ways to implement and enact Indigenous methodologies" pg 170
"By weaving together linguistic insight, cultural reclamation, and scientific
inquiry, the authors illuminate pathways for communities to mend the wounds of colonization." Pg 168 Cesar A Barreras
"Their divergence stems from reframing his work to address contemporary issues, criticism for his lack of foresight, and reaffirmation of his foundational theories and works." Kerri J. Malloy
"I imagined it being used not only as a catalog but also to promote understanding of Indigenous art, to guide reflection on key Native American lifeways that help us to be better beings, and finally to increase fluency with Indigenous languages." 160 Mae Hey
