There is currently no guidance in the Chicago Manual on Indigenous Knowledges and Knowledge-Keepers.
For help in citing First Peoples' knowledges you can refer to the following resources:
- Indigenous Referencing Guidance for Indigenous Knowledges: This toolkit provides direction on the respectful attribution of knowledges. It also includes decision making tools for selecting appropriate sources, and for adhering to the protocols and responsibilities attached to citing First Peoples' knowledges. The referencing examples are displayed in APA style, but these can be reformatted to align with other referencing styles. The guide is based on the Victorian context but can be applied to the acknowledgement of First Peoples' knowledges nationally.
- Indigenous Information Literacy: Chapter 33 of this book provides examples for citing Elders or Knowledge Keepers in the Chicago format by the Kwantlen Polytechnic University in British Columbia.
For further advice about referencing and using culturally appropriate and respectful language when writing with, for or about First Nations people, refer to the relevant section in the Australian Government Style Manual.
The First Peoples' knowledges guide also provides general information on referencing.
