Ethnohistory is a unique academic journal that combines anthropological and historical research methods, focusing on in-depth exploration of the human condition on a global scale, with a particular emphasis on the Americas. The core mission of this journal is to provide a platform for showcasing and analyzing the experiences, organizations, and identities of indigenous, diaspora, and minority peoples who may be marginalized or overlooked in mainstream narratives of nations, states, and colonial empires.

The journal encourages in-depth theoretical exploration and cross-cultural comparison of ethnic historical materials, which not only helps to reveal the uniqueness of different cultures and societies, but also promotes understanding of the diversity of human history. Through this approach, a multidimensional perspective is provided for the academic community to understand and interpret the historical experiences of different groups. The interdisciplinary nature enables it to publish research results from multiple disciplines such as art history, geography, literature, archaeology, anthropology, and history. This interdisciplinary fusion provides researchers with a broad academic perspective, enabling them to examine and interpret historical and cultural phenomena from different angles.
