 Review of NATIVELIT-L
Wilson explains, "For the purpose of this list, 'native' refers to autochthonous peoples of the North Americas (the US, Canada, and Mexico) and the neighboring islands, including Hawaii." Thus, subscribers to the list can expect to find messages concerning numerous indigenous peoples inside and outside of North America.
A number of the list participants are members of Native American nations, including Sioux and Mohawk nations, among others.
This informal and unmoderated list brings together subscribers who are not only helpful as resources for information about Native American literature studies but who are genuinely willing to help others understand and further research their literary interests.
