Introduction to Citation Justice and Indigenous Citation Practice

Much of what you will find here on indigenous citation practice comes from research guides created by the Xwi7xwa Library at the University of British Columbia. From their website: "Xwi7xwa Library is a centre for academic and community Indigenous scholarship. Its collections and services reflect Aboriginal approaches to teaching, learning, and research." Some useful guides in their collection:

• Indigenous Research Methodologies
• First Nations and Indigenous Studies

Also created at the University of British Columbia, but not in the Xwi7xwa Library, is this guide to First Nations and Indigenous Art.

Indigenous Elements of Style (some points to consider)

• Respect Indigenous realities
• Respect Indigenous cultural property
• Collaborate with the Indigenous communities you are describing
• Make every effort to follow Indigenous protocols
• Compensate Indigenous creators
• Name Indigenous Peoples using their preferred terms and identities
• Indigenous Peoples are not of another nation or belonging to another nation
• Avoid past tense when referring to Indigenous Peoples
