Native American Literature Symposium

The Native American Literature Symposium (NALS) is a Native American studies conference.[1] It was founded in 2001.[2] It is held at a tribal venue every spring.[3] The NALS was first established by a group of independent scholars committed to creating a place where Native voices can be heard.[2] The current Director is Gwen N. Westerman of Minnesota State University, Mankato.[2]
