We are moving!!!
Dear readers,
As many of you may know, we have been busy working on migrating Indigenous Peoples Issues Today into our parent site Indigenous Peoples Issues and Resources. We are happy to inform you that this migration is almost complete. We believe that this move will not only benefit you in terms of staying on top of indigenous issues, but will also allow us to provide much more. Indigenous Peoples Issues and Resources is built on a much more stable, scalable platform that allows us to incorporate more information, maps, videos, and other features. Please have a look: http://indigenouspeoplesissues.com
We will continue to bring you news, articles, book reviews, and our weekly Five Key Indigenous Peoples Issues. However, with the new site we will also be able to provide maps that locate each story for better reference, a much more powerful search function, as well as videos, conference announcements, and postings of jobs, funding, and grants.
Sadly, one feature that we cannot transfer is our email alerts. Because we respect your privacy, you must sign up again for email alerts via the new site. They will still be delivered to you every day in the exact same way that you have been used to. Please go to the site now and register to receive email alerts so that you do not miss a thing (registration is on the left hand column).
If you have suggestions for new features or areas of coverage, please feel free to let us know. We are always looking for ways to improve Indigenous Peoples Issues and Resources.
We will no longer be posting to this site beginning July 1, 2009.
Thank you and we hope that you migrate over to the new site with us.
Cheers,
Peter N. Jones, Ph.D.

We do use cookies to store information, such as your personal preferences when you visit our site. This could include only showing you a pop-up once in your visit, or the ability to login to some of our features, such as forums.
We also use third party advertisements on Indigenous Peoples Issues Today to support our site. Some of these advertisers may use technology such as cookies and web beacons when they advertise on our site, which will also send these advertisers (such as Google through the Google AdSense program) information including your IP address, your ISP, the browser you used to visit our site, and in some cases, whether you have Flash installed. This is generally used for geotargeting purposes (showing New York real estate ads to someone in New York, for example) or showing certain ads based on specific sites visited (such as showing cooking ads to someone who frequents cooking sites). Google, as a third party vendor, uses cookies to serve ads on this site. Google's use of the DART cookie enables it to serve ads to users based on their visit to sites on the Internet.

Thank you for understanding and supporting Indigenous Peoples Issues Today. We understand that some viewers may be concerned that ads are sometimes served for companies that negatively depict indigenous peoples and their cultures. We understand this concern. However, there are many legitimate companies that utilize Google Adwords and other programs to attract visitors. Currently, we have no way of deciphering between the two - we leave it up to the viewer to decide whether the companies serving ads are honest or not.
