Please give serious consideration to reading, re-reading, and promoting our already-published journals. These publications contain long-term reference material.
In Tim Jackins’s words, “We have produced with great effort a marvelous collection of theoretical and practical writing. How can we see that RCers read all the published RC literature? How can we promote and sell the existing literature about our constituencies, to all and sundry, far and wide?
“The journals tend to be treated like magazines. Sales decline steadily for the most recent ‘number’ of a journal and fade to almost nothing for superseded ‘numbers,’ even though the superseded journals are full of excellent articles.”
Heritage No. 4 is an example of an excellent journal that should continue to be circulated and read again and again. It includes a large and wonderful collection of interviews of Native people about their lives—stories with experiences and insights that will never go out-of-date. The “counseling on genocide” section will help everyone be better counselors for people who have the related distresses. And now, more than ever, we urgently need Native people’s clarity about living on planet Earth and preserving the environment.
Please consider promoting, ordering, reading, and re-reading Heritage No. 4.
