Citing Indigenous Knowledge Keepers - APA 7th Edition

More Than Personal Communication: Citation templates for Elders and Knowledge Keepers - Video Tutorial

  • While working at NorQuest College Libraries, Lorisia MacLeod (James Smith Cree Nation) worked with the Indigenous Student Centre to develop new citation templates to be used in APA and MLA for citing Indigenous Elders and Knowledge Keepers. These citation formats are meant to promote the culturally respectful use of Indigenous knowledge and people in research and challenge the status quo of who we cite.
