Mailing Lists

Mailing lists can be an excellent vehicle for sharing information and for establishing ties with other people living and working in Indian Country. Subscribing to a mailing list is a way of having a group discussion by electronic mail. A mailing list is very much like a conference on a bulletin board system, except the conversation comes to you in your e-mail box. Each time you or any member of the list posts a reply to the conversation, it is distributed to the e-mail box of every member of the list. Mailing lists are the most basic form of Internet conferencing. They can be public or private and, unlike Usenet newsgroups, which require additional software to run, all you need to participate is an e-mail address. Be forewarned, however, that some popular lists generate large volumes of mail and you could find your e-mail's In Box stuffed with dozens of messages each day.

The Tribal Law & Policy Institute has created a Tribal-State-Collaboration List Serve (Mailing List). You can subscribe to the mailing list by filling out the online form on the Tribal-State-Collaboration List Serve web page.
