The Native American Literature Symposium is the leading Native Studies conference, a Native-run event, at a Native venue. Scheduled to appear is Michelle St. John and "The Scrubbing Project."

Papers and panels will be presented on many aspects of Native American Literature. We especially welcome papers and panels that deal particularly with native land issues. Other topics to be covered will include tribal sovereignty, narrative strategies, cultural mediations, interdisciplinary arts, literature and history, cultural contexts, and individual authors. There will also be panel discussions on pedagogical methods, individual texts, authors, and film.

We are pleased to locate our symposium at a tribal venue again this year and look forward to your spirited participation.

DEADLINE: October 15, 2005
