American Indian Quarterly has earned its reputation as one of the dominant journals in American Indian studies by presenting the best and most thought-provoking scholarship in the field.  The journal is a forum for diverse voices and perspectives spanning a variety of academic disciplines.

In addition to peer-reviewed articles, AIQ features reviews of books, films, and exhibits.
