         Re:   Americana Publishing, Inc. 2003 Equity Incentive Plan
               -----------------------------------------------------

Ladies and Gentlemen:

     We have  acted  as  counsel  to  Americana  Publishing,  Inc.,  a  Colorado
corporation (the "Company"),  in connection with the preparation and filing with
the Securities and Exchange  Commission  under the Securities Act of 1933 of the
Company's  post-effective  amendment no.1 to its registration  statement on Form
S-8 relating to  30,570,000  shares of the  Company's  common  stock,  par value
$0.001 (the "Shares"), which may be issued upon exercise of options or otherwise
granted in connection with the Americana Publishing,  Inc. 2003 Equity Incentive
Plan (the "Plan").

     In connection with that  registration,  we have reviewed the proceedings of
the Board of Directors of the Company  relating to the registration and proposed
issuance of the Shares,  the  Articles of  Incorporation  of the Company and all
amendments thereto,  the Bylaws of the Company and all amendments  thereto,  and
such other documents and matters as we have deemed necessary to the rendering of
the following opinion.

         Based upon that review, it is our opinion that the Shares, when issued
in conformance with the terms and conditions of the Plan, were or will be
legally issued, fully paid, and nonassessable under the Colorado Business
Corporation Act.

     We do not find it necessary for the purposes of this opinion to cover,  and
accordingly  we express no opinion as to, the  application  of the securities or
blue sky laws of the various states as to the issuance and sale of the Shares.

     We consent to the use of this opinion in the  registration  statement filed
with the Securities and Exchange  Commission in connection with the registration
of the Shares.

                                                  /s/ RICHARDSON &amp; PATEL, LLP

                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' CONSENT

I hereby  consent to the reference to me under the caption  "Experts' and to the
incorporation  by  reference  in the  Registration  Statement  on  Form  S-8 for
Americana  Publishing,  Inc.,  of my report dated March 21, 2003, on my audit of
the consolidated financial statements of Americana Publishing,  Inc. included in

ended December 31, 2002.

         Re:   Americana Publishing, Inc. 2003 Equity Incentive Plan
               -----------------------------------------------------

Ladies and Gentlemen:

     We have  acted  as  counsel  to  Americana  Publishing,  Inc.,  a  Colorado
corporation (the "Company"),  in connection with the preparation and filing with
the Securities and Exchange  Commission  under the Securities Act of 1933 of the
Company's  post-effective  amendment no.1 to its registration  statement on Form
S-8 relating to  30,570,000  shares of the  Company's  common  stock,  par value
$0.001 (the "Shares"), which may be issued upon exercise of options or otherwise
granted in connection with the Americana Publishing,  Inc. 2003 Equity Incentive
Plan (the "Plan").

     In connection with that  registration,  we have reviewed the proceedings of
the Board of Directors of the Company  relating to the registration and proposed
issuance of the Shares,  the  Articles of  Incorporation  of the Company and all
amendments thereto,  the Bylaws of the Company and all amendments  thereto,  and
such other documents and matters as we have deemed necessary to the rendering of
the following opinion.

         Based upon that review, it is our opinion that the Shares, when issued
in conformance with the terms and conditions of the Plan, were or will be
legally issued, fully paid, and nonassessable under the Colorado Business
Corporation Act.

     We do not find it necessary for the purposes of this opinion to cover,  and
accordingly  we express no opinion as to, the  application  of the securities or
blue sky laws of the various states as to the issuance and sale of the Shares.

     We consent to the use of this opinion in the  registration  statement filed
with the Securities and Exchange  Commission in connection with the registration
of the Shares.

                                                  /s/ RICHARDSON & PATEL, LLP
Exhibit 23.1

                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' CONSENT

I hereby  consent to the reference to me under the caption  "Experts' and to the
incorporation  by  reference  in the  Registration  Statement  on  Form  S-8 for
Americana  Publishing,  Inc.,  of my report dated March 21, 2003, on my audit of
the consolidated financial statements of Americana Publishing,  Inc. included in
the Annual  Report on Form 10-KSB,  as amended by Amendment  No. 1, for the year
ended December 31, 2002.
