American Indian College Fund, Tribal College Journal launch special edition
journal for 400 th anniversary of Mayflower arrival with call for student entries
DENVER — The year 2020 marks
the 400 th anniversary of the arrival of
the Mayflower to North America, forever
changing life for Native people.
In some ways, the struggle for Native
people continues — in March the federal
government announced it is removing
the reservation status and 300 acres of
ancestral land from the Mashpee Wam-
panoag Massachusetts-based Tribe, which
traces its ancestry to contact with the
Mayflower pilgrims.
Today’s Native people are respond-
ing to challenges with the resilience of
their ancestors, a Tribal college education
and continued strength, weaving their
values and traditions into modern life.
To celebrate Native peoples’ endurance
and resurgence for more than 400 years,
the American Indian College Fund and
Tribal College Journal are hosting a call
for entries for A Journal of Native Reflec-
tions on the Mayflower, a special edition
journal to feature a juried selection of
student essays, art, photography and film.
The contest is open to all Tribal
college and university students, faculty
members and staff at American Indian
Higher Education Consortium-member
institutions submitting original work
reflective of the theme of Resilience.
Education. Strength.
Deadline for entry is June 30, 2020,
11:59 MST. A Journal of Native Reflections
on the Mayflower will be published Nov. 1,
to mark Native American Heritage Month.
Selections will be made in July by
a jury of three industry professionals.
Each entrant whose work is selected for
publication will receive $200, a certificate
of selection and a copy of the Journal of
Native Reflections on the Mayflower. All
officially selected entrants will also be
listed in the journal.
For complete contest terms and
conditions and instructions for sub-
mission, please visit collegefund.org/
mayflower. Selections for submissions will
be announced on the College Fund’s home
page at collegefund.org and at tribal-
collegejournal.org.
