Elements of Indigenous Style: A Guide for Writing By and About Indigenous Peoples

Elements of Indigenous Style by Greg Younging (Opaskwayak Cree Nation) is a recent guide to writing about Indigenous peoples that provides guidance on appropriate terminology, respecting oral histories, and more. Although the target audience includes writers, editors, and media, this short guide is written in an accessible manner so that even learners working on developing their writing skills can use it. The book will be useful for educators looking to enhance their awareness of terminology to use and to avoid. The advice on quoting from historical sources and archival materials will be of interest to social studies educators.
