While the official APA citation style guide provides guidelines for citing Indigenous Elders and Knowledge Keepers as personal communication, NorQuest College has developed the following templates for citing Indigenous Elders and Knowledge Keepers (CC BY-NC 4.0) in the spirit of wahkôhtowin and reconciliation, and we thank them for sharing their template. https://guides.library.ubc.ca/apacitationstyle/indigenousknowledge

The American Psychological Association emphasizes the need to talk about all people with inclusivity and respect. Writers using APA Style must strive to use language that is free of bias and avoid perpetuating prejudicial beliefs or demeaning attitudes in their writing. Just as you have learned to check what you write for spelling, grammar, and wordiness, practice reading your work for bias.

Zotero (pronounced "zoh-TAIR-oh") is a research management application that works with your browser to collect, manage, and cite research sources. It's fairly easy to use, connects to web browser and word processor where you do your work, and best of all it's free.

Zotero allows you to attach PDFs, notes, and images to your citations, organize them into collections for different projects and create bibliographies.

It automatically updates itself periodically to work with new online sources and new bibliographic styles.
