Description

This resource guide brings the comprehensive bibliographic coverage of American Indian and Alaska Native publications up to the present time. It contains newspapers and periodicals edited or published by American Indians or Alaska Natives, as well as publications with the primary purpose of publishing information about contemporary Indians or Alaska Natives. This volume is the result of the first-hand examination of as many copies of each publication as possible, with the assistance of over thirty contributors. Titles are arranged alphabetically and include variant titles which are cross-referenced. Each entry contains an essay profile of the publication listed, and includes a discussion of its founding, intentions, editors, content, affiliations with tribes, organizations, or other groups, and demise. Following each profile is an information section which includes a bibliography and a list of sources for locating holding institutions. A succinct publication history appears at the end of each entry, with title changes and issue data, and full information on publishers and editors. Appendixes of titles listed by chronology and location are also provided, along with an index and list of contributors.
