We encourage all faculty, instructors, and students to download NAIS articles directly from your library’s online portal. Please do not provide or use shared PDF files. Each “click” through a library portal supports a journal financially, so please download from Project Muse (all issues available), JSTOR (volumes 1 through 8 only), and the like to access NAIS. UPDATE: As of January 2023, all NAISA membership purchases and renewals come with digital access to NAIS through Project MUSE. Previously, access to the digital version of NAIS was only available through academic institution library portals. This latest membership benefit allows independent scholars and unaffiliated community researchers access to not only the latest issue of NAIS, but the entire NAIS archive as well. Members will be emailed instructions on how to access digital NAIS at the beginning of the month following membership purchase or renewal.

The editors’ goal is to extend understandings across disciplinary and epistemological boundaries and learn more about the important work going on in scores of different fields and regions. Studies grounded in Indigenous research methodologies are especially encouraged. All empirical studies must document: (1) the use of accepted ethical protocols for research with human subjects; and (2) site-specific approvals when required, including research and/or institutional review board approvals required by Native nations, tribes, or bands.
