About the Tribal Writers Digital Library

The Native Writers Digital Text Project brings the works of Native poets and writers of fiction and other prose to readers world wide. Featuring out-of-print literary efforts of American Indians, Alaska Natives, and First Nations people of Canada, the project seeks to broaden the definition of “Native Writing” not only by focusing on writers who are not ordinarily anthologized, but also by publishing works which originally appeared in “ephemeral” sources andthe periodical press, especially in those publications edited and produced by Natives.

Each selection is prepared by a student editor working with one of the American Native Press directors. Students learn the principles of editing and preparing a work for publication. They also research and write the accompanying biographical and background essays. Inquiries concerning any aspect of the project may be directed to James Parins jwparins@ualr.edu or 501.569.8336 or American Native Press Archives, 301A Ottenheimer Library, 2801 S. University Avenue, Little Rock, AR 72204.

NATIVE WRITERS CHAPBOOK SERIES

The Sequoyah Research Center announces its second series of Native Writers Chapbooks. The first series published chapbooks (small, limited editions of poetry, prose, or drama) by such noted Indian writers as Maurice Kenny, Lance Henson, and Doris Seale. We hope to continue to bring out writing of the same high quality with this second series. Stuart Hoahwah (Comanche) leads off with a collection of poems, Black Knife.

The major difference between the first and second series is that in addition to publishing in hard-copy the new works will appear in digital format in the Tribal Writers Digital Library. We hope in this way to reach a wider readership for what we think are some exciting new Indian poets, storytellers, and dramatists.

Native writers interested in this venture should contact editor James W. Parins at jwparins@ualr.edu or by writing to him at the Sequoyah Research Center.
