More Than Personal Communication: Templates for Citing Indigenous Elders and Knowledge Keepers
By Lorisia MacLeod, James Smith Cree Nation
In this project report, MacLeod introduces the citation templates for Indigenous Elders and Knowledge Keepers that she created in partnership with the staff of the NorQuest Indigenous Student Centre. These citation templates have been adopted/linked to by twenty-five institutions across Canada and the United States. They represent an attempt to formalize something that Indigenous scholars have been doing for decades: fighting to find a better way to acknowledge their voices and knowledges within academia.
