Native American Press in Wisconsin and the Nation, 1982 to the Present
In late April 1982, James P. Danky organized a conference titled ???Native
American Press in Wisconsin and the Nation,??? an extension of
the work Danky had been engaged in as newspapers and periodicals
librarian at the Wisconsin Historical Society, which brought native
editors and publishers together with academic historians. We were
engaged in writing a historical reference guide to American Indian
and Alaska native newspapers and periodicals, and we learned that
Danky and colleague Maureen Hady were involved with a similar
project. At the conference we all agreed to cooperate in our research
and share information. Attendees reached consensus on a number
of issues at that time: the Native press was under significant financial
difficulty; press freedoms were often abused; a need existed for an
association of native publishers and editors. Other issues came to
light, including the need for a systematic, ongoing project to collect
the products of the native press and report research on the subject as
a means of documenting contemporary native life. Danky and Hady???s
work helped to lay the foundation for this project that continues to
this day at the Sequoyah Research Center.published or submitted for publicatio
