Purpose Statement

Native Literatures: Generations

Publishing literature of substance and consequence

Our Purpose

NLG is dedicated to providing a global forum for original works of literature by writers from the indigenous nations of North America and Hawai'i. Our goal is to support writers in their endeavors by offering a venue for linking them with new audiences and potential publishers. Moreover, our magazine is designed to generate funds to provide financial support for writers through scholarships and project funding.

NLG is a quarterly, with content accessible online for only three months (with rights reverting to authors thereafter).
