While all six volumes were written in

Cree.[4]
The last volume was published in 1997.

History

Dana F. Lawrence was the founding editor-in-chief.

1989

The first issue, Winter (January) 1989, written in English and French, circulated in Australia, Canada, the United Kingdom, and the United States. Topics included native

Michif language, and First Nations women. There were also three book reviews within this issue.[6]

1990s

There were no issues printed in 1990 during a personnel turnover while Lawrence moved on to the University of British Columbia. Catherine Littlejohn, free-lance historian, researcher, author and consultant,[7] was introduced as the new editor for the third issue, published in Winter (January) 1991. As with her predecessor, Littlejohn urged for international participation. Besides English and French, it was also written in Cree. There were articles on archaeology, health, and spirituality, as well as two book reviews.[8]

Summer (July) 1991, the fourth issue, saw several major changes: the associated editors of previous issues were replaced by a

APA format was no longer required for articles written in a discipline that used another style, and citations for traditional knowledge had to be validated by the indigenous community. The issue contained articles on education, law, policy, and residential schools, as well as two book reviews within this issue.[9] McNinch wrote the opening editorial of the Winter (January) 1992 issue, as Littlejohn had left the journal. Circulation expanded to New Zealand and included the topics of Māori language, Māori music, and a literary biography on Native American poet Paula Gunn Allen. There was one book review within this issue.[10]

The sixth and final issue did not appear until Winter (January) 1997, and with it, another editor,

Indigenous Australians and North American Inuit were the subject populations. There were three book reviews within this issue.[12]

Publishing

The front cover was designed by

typeset by ABCOM Publishers and the last one was typeset by The Little Print Shop (Saskatoon). All but the last issue were printed and distributed by University of Toronto Press. The journal did not accept paid advertising.[9]

Scholarly references

The short-lived journal and individual articles were subsequently cited by other scholars. For example, White's "Forced Sterilization amongst American Indian Women" (1989) was quoted by Davies & Clow (2009), American Indian sovereignty and law,[13] and Douglas' "Māori Language Nests" (1992) was mentioned in Abley (2005), Spoken Here: Travels Among Threatened Languages.[14] At least one article was reprinted as a chapter in a later book: Watson's, "The affirmation of indigenous values in a colonial education system" in Stone & MacKenzie (1990), The Excluded past: Archaeology in education.[15] Likewise, a chapter previously published elsewhere (for example, Hubert's, "A proper place for the dead: a critical review of the 'reburial' issue", chapter ten, in Layton (1994), Conflict in the archaeology of living traditions), was reprinted in the journal.[16][17]
