Red Ink will be accepting submissions for our next issue due out Fall/Winter 2010. Please check back again for details.

Red Ink is accepting submissions for our 20th ANNIVERSARY EDITION.

Theme: The focus of the issue is RENEWAL...what it means to tribal communities on and off the Rez, and what the future holds when it comes to: struggles, leaders, health, business, tribal governments and courts, nation building, fashion and art, language, environment, education, family, and most importantly successes. The topic is not limited to these subjects; rather these are just a few of the subjects that we will face and if you think of others please send them in.

We've gone through eras of Indigenousness, Determination, Resiliency, and Survivalism, and we want to pose the question to Natives everywhere!!!.. What's next and what’s the next step???? Allow our voices to determine what path we will travel down, on terms that we decide. Let’s not allow others to determine how our people will thrive in the next 10 to 20 years..

Deadline: March 17, 2010
