    • Summary:"This report provides a background to and an explanation of various editorial issues pertaining specifically to writing by and/or about Aboriginal Peoples. Several specific examples are discussed, many of which I have come across through my work as Managing Editory of Theytus Books, and a number of solutions in the form of editorial guidelines are proposed. In the process of developing and establishing a house style for Theytus Books, this report also provides a rationale for the development of a seperate Aboriginal style guide, as well as outline and explain the aspects a comprehensive separate style guide should contain."--excerpt from abstract, p. iv.
