Submit a Manuscript to the

Journal of American Indian Education

The Journal of American Indian Education is a professional journal that publishes papers directly related to the education of American Indian/Alaska Natives. The Journal also invites scholarship on educational issues pertaining to Native Peoples of the world, including First Nations (Aboriginal People of Canada), Native Hawaiians, Maori, Indigenous Peoples of Latin America and others. The goal of the Journal of American Indian Education is to improve Native Education through knowledge generation and transmission to classrooms and other educational settings. The Journal encourages dialogue between researchers and teachers through research-based scholar and practitioner articles elucidating current innovations in the classroom.  

Essays that advance a point of view about an educational question or issue if supported by cited research literature are acceptable for consideration as well as manuscripts that present reviews of literature in areas that are relatively unexplored. Studies grounded in Native Research methodologies are especially encouraged. The Journal also seeks expository manuscripts that present an explicative or interpretive perspective to an existing theory or issue.

Please refer to the 2001 Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (5th ed.) when preparing manuscripts for submission. Please use the term most preferable and appropriate to the Indigenous group or people to which the manuscript refers. American Indian/Alaska Native rather than Native American should be used in manuscripts referring to the Native or Indigenous Peoples of the continental United States.

Manuscripts may be up to 25 pages in length. Please mail five copies of the manuscript to:
