Red Ink is a Native American, student-run publication at the University of Arizona. Established in 1989, Red Ink has published the works of writers and artists (both well-known and budding) from many different Native Nations.

Red Ink's primary mission to highlight Native American intellectual and creative expression through the media of poetry, short stories, creative non-fiction, scholarly articles, original artwork, photography, and book, music and film reviews. Red Ink promotes an ongoing discourse with all persons and organizations that are interested in Native American issues and topics.  Red Ink is designed to promote both scholarly and grassroots publishing by and for Native and non-Native members of--as well as advocates for--indigenous communities. Our goal is to provide a journal that is accessible to non-academics, while also providing a forum for serious scholars. Interdisciplinary in focus, visionary in content, and intergenerational in participation, Red Ink Magazine provides a vital forum for anybody who wishes to discuss, learn, and explore Native American issues further.

By showcasing a variety of topics as well as literary, scholarly and artistic genres, Red Ink hopes to appeal to a broad spectrum of people with diverse interests. We have published several special theme issues, including ones dedicated to Indian gaming, Native children, Native language revitalization and development, and tribal governance and economic development. In addition to scholarly works, Red Ink also publishes an altogether unique mix of poetry, photographs, artwork, short stories, first-person essays, political and social commentaries, cartoons, and reviews of recent books, films and music.
