Little Rock, Arkansas (NFIC)
While it appears that out in Indian Country the secrets of the University of Arkansas at Little Rock’s Sequoyah Institute is one of Indian Country’s best held ones, those that have been attending the last few years know how valuable the annual conference has become for discussing modern day issues facing the Native community.
The Sequoyah Research Center is a number of things. First of all it was named for the creator of the Cherokee syllabary and dedicated to the collection, preservation, and dissemination of the words and ideas of Native American individuals, nations, and organizations.
In that capacity, the research center has become, from all estimations, the worlds largest repository of American Indian/Native newspapers and periodicals including Native press history and resources related to Native writers.
