The groundbreaking Indigenous style guide every writer needs.
The first published guide to common questions and issues of Indigenous style and process for those who work in words and other media is back in an updated new edition. This trusted resource offers crucial guidance to anyone who works in words or other media on how to work accurately, collaboratively, and ethically on projects involving Indigenous Peoples.
Editor Warren Cariou (Métis) and contributing editors Jordan Abel (Nisga'a), Lorena Fontaine (Cree-Anishinaabe), and Deanna Reder (Cree-Métis) continue the conversation started by the late Gregory Younging in his foundational first edition. This second conversation reflects changes in the publishing industry, Indigenous-led best practices, and society at large, including new chapters on author-editor relationships, identity and community affiliation, Two-Spirit and Indigiqueer identities, sensitivity reading, emerging issues in the digital world, and more.
Elements of Indigenous Style is a beautiful beginning, a gathering place and a cultivator of both discussion and growth. Younging's work clears the ground, drafts the blueprints and starts the framing out on the house that we need for our stories. At the same time, Younging manages to write both solid and grounded guidelines while leaving malleability in the architecture so that the ideas can grow and evolve. And we are all invited to share, discuss, add to, and cultivate this important work. - Cherie Dimaline, author of The Marrow Thieves and winner of the Governor General's Literary Award
As a good style guide should, Elements of Indigenous Style provides answers for common and uncommon questions editors, publishers, and writer might have. - The Editing Company Blog
Style is fraught with politics, especially when writing about Indigenous Peoples. Now, writers, academics, journalists, publishers, and students can breathe a sigh of relief. Reach for this essential Indigenous style guide, not only when searching for the right word, but when seeking guidance on the importance of relationships and trust. - Duncan McCue, CBC Radio Host and author of The Shoe Boy
