Description
The Alaska Native Studies Council (ANSC) Writing Style Guide (a living document) was officially adopted at the 2018 ANSC Conference in Juneau, Alaska.
The purpose of the Alaska Native Studies Council Writing Style Guide is to standardize and resolve questions of usage, punctuation, and standard publishing style when writing for Alaska Native collateral, publications, and online content. This is based on the NANA Writing Style Guide and adapted for Alaska statewide writing standard. The intention is to develop consistency in writing for Alaska Native communications with coherent use of writing style as well as spelling, punctuation, capitalization and abbreviations. This guide is meant to complement the Associated Press Writing Style Guide. The target audience for the ANSC Writing Style Guide are the general public students, educators, authors, scholars, journalists, and others writing about Alaska Natives. We recognize local communities have their own writing style and encourage writers to adopt the style from the community. This will be a living document updated as needed.
