Native American and Indigenous Studies invites reviews of books, exhibits, websites, and other relevant media on topics relevant to our field for publication in the journal.
Reviews should be up to 750 words long and submitted in 12-point Times New Roman font. We will consider essays of greater length that review multiple books, films, or other materials on a particular topic, theme, or area but please contact the editors first at journal@naisa.org.
Publishers and distributors can send materials for review consideration to:
NAIS Journal

PEER REVIEW AND CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY
The editors of NAIS take great care to minimize actual and potential conflicts of interest in the editorial process. Discussions and deliberations about submissions from editors, editorial board members, editorial managers, and current or past students of the editors do not include the person with the conflict until a final decision is made on the manuscript. For instance, a submission by a former graduate student of one of the editors is handled with no input from that editor. Instead, the other co-editor will ask a member of the editorial board to work with him or her in consideration of the manuscript.
With the exception of reviews, all material published in NAIS undergoes anonymous peer review.
COLLABORATIVE AUTHORSHIP
NAIS welcomes work that is the product of collaborative authorship. The journal's standard practice is to list co-authors alphabetically. We will, however, list authors at their request to conform to disciplinary or other professional conventions.
COMPLAINTS AND QUERIES
Complaints or queries regarding journal content or editing should go to journal@naisa.org, one of the editors, or an editorial board member. Subscription inquiries should be sent to journals@umn.edu.
