Recently, I asked our colleagues at the Indigenous Health Lab at Western University how to cite Indigenous Elders and Knowlege Keepers in scholarly work and reports. They pointed me to this publication as their guide and recommendation:
More Than Personal Communication
Templates For Citing Indigenous Elders and Knowledge Keepers
To cite this work: MacLeod, Lorisia. 2021. “More Than Personal Communication: Templates For Citing Indigenous Elders and Knowledge Keepers”. KULA: Knowledge Creation, Dissemination, and Preservation Studies 5 (1). https://doi.org/10.18357/kula.135
Thank you Dr. Chantelle Richmond, Director and Katie Big-Canoe, Program Coordinator at www.indigenoushealthlab.uwo.ca
