The Canadian Journal of Native Studies is a highly recognized journal in the field of Native Studies. It comes out on a bi-annual basis, and publishes original research which is refereed by peer review.
As a general focus, the journal publishes anthropological, historical, sociological, political, legal, educational and cultural issues affecting First Nations people. Although the majority of articles deal with Indigenous peoples in Canada, it also publishes articles dealing with Indigenous peoples world-wide.
A good measure of the journal's influence is the vast number of sources which index the title. These include: Abstracts of Native Studies, America: History and Life, Anthropological Index, Bibliography of Natives of North America, Canadian Index, Canadian Periodical Index, Indigenous Studies Portal, First Nations Periodical Index, Historical Abstracts, and MLA International Bibliography.
The online edition of this journal has been made available through a joint project between the Society for the Advancement of Native Studies and the John E. Robbins Library at Brandon University. The aim of the project is to mount all back issues of the journal, two years after the volume has been published, and make them available for free. Phase I (volumes 1-16) of the digitization of content was funded in part by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada, Manitoba Education and Training's CareerStart program, and Brandon University. Phase II of the Digitization (volumes 17-25) was provided by the Indigenous Studies Portal at the University of Saskatchewan - who has agreed to partner with the Journal for the continued digitization of content two years after publication.
The Canadian Journal of Native Studies is the official publication of The Canadian Indian/Native Studies Association.

Question: How did the project begin?
The impetus for this program was a push by librarians to place the Canadian Journal of Native Studies online, and a subsequent agreement between the editor, and the library, to undertake the digitization of the journal. Funding from two agencies, Manitoba Education and Training's CareerStart program and the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada, enabled us to hire students to convert files for the first phase of the project, and contract out the scanning of journals in the second phase of the project.
Phase three of the project - which involved the digitzation and mounting of volumes 17-25 - was completed in March of 2008. The digitization was completed by the Indigenous Studies Portal at the University of Saskatchewan Libraries in partnership with the Canadian Journal of Native Studies at Brandon University. We would like to thank them for their assistance in this phase of the project.
Question: Are there plans to continue making the full edition of each issue available?
Yes there are. We have agreed to publish continuing back issues, two years after the last edition of a volume is published.
Question: Is there a definite deadline for submissions?
Answer: No. All submissions are reviewed as received, then published in one of the bi-annual publications upon the approval of the Editorial and Peer Review Staff.
