The journal has been dedicated to publishing all anthropological research—archaeological, physical, cultural, linguistics, social, and applied—relevant to the past and present cultures of the Northwest Coast and Plateau regions. Much of the first 50 years of content detailed within the pages of Memoir 13 remains relevant today.

Overview of the Journal

Northwest Anthropological Research Notes (NARN) first appeared in 1967, a time when the amount of anthropological research was rapidly increasing across North America. The idea to start NARN originated with Deward E. Walker, Jr., then at the University of Idaho, who recognized the need for a regional journal to serve the Pacific Northwest anthropological community. The first NARN was co-edited by Walker and James A. Goss, with the assistance of a distinguished group of associate editors.

In 1969, Walker left Idaho for the University of Colorado, and Roderick Sprague (University of Idaho) replaced James Goss as co-editor; NARN continued to be published at the University of Idaho until Sprague’s retirement in 2005. In 2002, the name of the journal changed to the Journal of Northwest Anthropology (JONA). In 2009, Darby C. Stapp (Northwest Anthropology LLC) joined Walker and Sprague as a co-editor. With the passing of Sprague in 2011, editorial duties have continued under Walker and Stapp.
