    Native Peoples to Produce Official 2012 Santa Fe Indian Market Magazine


    *

    *Native Peoples Magazine and the Southwestern Association for Indian Arts
    (SWAIA) are pleased to announce that Native Peoples has been selected to
    produce the official 2012 Santa Fe Indian Market Magazine.*

    The magazine will be released in mid-July. It will focus on SWAIA programs
    and projects, Santa Fe Indian Market artists, trends in Native arts, tips
    on getting the most out of a visit to Santa Fe and Indian Market, and other
    related topics. Serving as guest editor for the issue is Wolf Schneider of
    Santa Fe.

    This is the first time that *Native Peoples* has produced the official *Santa
    Fe Indian Market Magazine*. “We are very excited to have this wonderful
    opportunity to work with SWAIA on this special publication and to serve the
    needs of its artists and the 100,000 or so visitors to the Santa Fe Indian
    Market,” said *Native Peoples* Publisher Stephen Phillips. Added SWAIA’s
    executive director, Bruce Bernstein, “We are very pleased to be working
    with *Native Peoples* Magazine.

    Their insights into traditional and contemporary Native art and culture
    will undoubtedly produce one of the best editions of the *Santa Fe Indian
    Market Magazine* in recent history.”

    The publication matches two like-minded entities, both dedicated to serving
    Native Americans and enhancing the general understanding of Native arts and
    culture. The magazine will act as an extension of Indian Market, reaching a
    global audience through an online digital version and *Native
    Peoples’*nationwide distribution at Barnes & Noble outlets and other
    specialty
    retailers.

    * *

    *Native Peoples*, which is based in Phoenix and currently marking its 25th
    anniversary, is dedicated to the sensitive portrayal of the arts and
    lifeways of the Native peoples of the Americas. It is the oldest and
    largest general consumer publication among Native-oriented magazines.
    Uniquely qualified for the job, it is a highly respected voice in the
    Native realm and fulfills an educational and advocacy role for American
    Indians to society as a whole. It is producing the *Santa Fe Indian Market
    Magazine* with significant input and direction from SWAIA and use of Native
    writers on an unprecedented scale.
