Guidelines for
Editors and
Publishers
Editors and publishers should utilize culturallyknowledgeable authors and establish multiple
levels of review to insure that all publications
are culturally accurate and appropriate.
Editors and publishers may increase their cultural
responsiveness through the following actions:
a. Encourage and support Native-authors and provide
appropriate biographical information and photographs of
the author(s) of culturally-oriented material.
b. Return a significant proportion of publication proceeds
and royalties to the person or community from which it
originated.
c. Submit all manuscripts with cultural content to locallyknowledgeable personnel for review, making effective use
of local and regional entities set up for this purpose.
d. Insure appropriate review, approval and access for all
digital and Internet-based materials.
e. Resolve all disagreements on cultural content or
distribution before final publication.
