Chicago Referencing Guide

• Secondary sources related to mātauranga Māori and other Indigenous peoples, cultures, and histories can be cited according to the advice in this rest of this guide, depending on the source: book, article, website, etc. 

Information acquired directly from an Indigenous person with expertise in cultural knowledge, such as a kaumatua, can be cited as a form of personal communication, with additional requirements.

In a note or bibliography entry, include:

• the name of the Indigenous knowledge keeper
• the hapū, iwi, nations, or communities to which they belong (ask your source for this information to make sure they are happy with the identification)
• a brief description of the information or teaching they have shared
• the date of the interaction

These details must be confirmed with the knowledge keeper. Check with them that you have permission to share the information in your written work, and confirm that you have followed all the appropriate tikanga/protocols related to the dissemination of this knowledge.
