AlterNative: An International Journal of Indigenous Peoples
AlterNative: An International Journal of Indigenous Peoples is an internationally peer-reviewed interdisciplinary journal. We aim to present scholarly research on Indigenous worldviews and experiences of decolonization from Indigenous perspectives from around the world.
Since 2005, AlterNative has been the leading source for scholarship by Indigenous peoples and for those working alongside and with Indigenous communities.
AlterNative was launched by Ngā Pae o te Māramatanga, New Zealand’s Māori Centre of Research Excellence, to provide an innovative new forum for Indigenous scholars to set their own agendas, content and arguments and establish a unique new standard of excellence in Indigenous scholarship. The intention was not only to showcase themes of Indigenous knowledge and epistemologies, but also to document the emergence of different Indigenous methodologies and value systems within an academic environment. Today, AlterNative provides the latest thinking and practice in Indigenous scholarship, has created an international Indigenous academic community and has generated an understanding of Indigenous academic discourse.
AlterNative is a multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary journal that publishes scholarship across the Social Sciences, Humanities, Education, Health, Business, and Law.
It publishes articles engaging with a variety of theoretical debates in areas including:
- Cultural studies
- Education
- Human Geography
- Health
- Business
- Law
- History
- Politics
- Philosophy
- Literature
- Visual and Performing Arts
- Environmental studies
- Psychology
- Sociology
AlterNative is published continuously online as well as in quarterly print issues. It publishes articles in English but also welcomes submissions in Indigenous languages, as well as ones that have been previously published in an Indigenous language and are translated into English.
AlterNative is a member of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE). AlterNative is committed to meeting and upholding the standard of ethical behaviour at all stages of the publication process. Contributors are expected to meet internationally accepted guidelines on carrying out ethical and culturally competent research involving Indigenous peoples and conform to the standards for authors set out by COPE.

AlterNative: An International Journal of Indigenous Peoples is a peer-reviewed interdisciplinary journal. We aim to present scholarly research on Indigenous worldviews and experiences of decolonization from Indigenous perspectives from around the world. The journal spans themes of transforming places, peoples, communities, cultures, histories and colonialism.
AlterNative seeks to build bridges between the academic study of Indigenous affairs and theory and practical or empirical issues in the modern world. Articles should link theory and practice in a way that sheds light on the present state of Indigenous theory, thinking and practice, and make sense out of concrete issues, whether they are at local, national or global levels.
AlterNative publishes papers that substantively address and critically engage with Indigenous issues from a scholarly Indigenous viewpoint. All papers must address and engage with current international and national literature and academic and/or Indigenous theory, and make a significant contribution to the field of Indigenous studies.
