Citing Elders
The formal MLA and APA style do not have a format for citing Indigenous Elders and Knowledge Keepers.
Norquest College has developed the following citation styles in the spirit of wahkôhtowin and reconciliation, and we thank them for sharing their template.
APA Style
Unlike other personal communications, Elders and Knowledge Keepers should be cited in-text and in the reference list.
In Text:
The in-text citation format should follow the same guidelines as noted in the paraphrase and direct quote tabs:
Delores Cardinal described the nature of the... (2004). OR The nature of the place was... (Cardinal, 2004).
Reference:
The citation format for the reference list follows the following format:
Last name, First initial., Nation/Community. Treaty Territory if applicable. Where they live if applicable. Topic/subject of communication if applicable. personal communication. Month Date, Year.
For example: Cardinal, D., Goodfish Lake Cree Nation. Treaty 6. Lives in Edmonton. Oral teaching. personal communication. April 4, 2004.
