About the JAIE

The Journal of American Indian Education (JAIE) was founded in 1961, and has been published continously since then. There are three issues per year, as well as occassional special issues.

The JAIE is a professional journal that publishes papers directly related to the education of American Indian/Alaska Natives. The JAIE also invites scholarship on educational issues pertaining to Native Peoples of the world, including First Nations (Aboriginal People of Canada), Native Hawaiian, Maori, Indigenous Peoples of Latin America and others.

The JAIE encourages dialogue between researchers and teachers through research-based scholar and practitioner articles elucidating current innovations in the classroom. Essays that advance a point of view about an educational question or issue if supported by cited research literature are acceptable for consideration as well as manuscripts that present views of literature in areas that are relatively unexplored. Studies grounded in Native Research methologies are especially encouraged. The JAIE also seeks expository manuscripts that present an explicative or interpretive perspective to an existing theory or issue.

The JAIE is preferred by Native educators and experts in various academic disciplines. Please visit our current Review Panel.
