Tribal Writers Digital Library
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 and the 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 Parinsjwparins@ualr.edu
or 501.569.8336 or American Native Press Archives, 500 University Plaza, 2801 S. University Avenue, Little Rock, AR 72204.
