MULTIPLE SUBMISSION POLICY: The American Indian Culture and Research Journal regards
submission of a manuscript to one professional journal while that manuscript is under review by
any other journal as unacceptable. It is further assumed by the American Indian Culture and
Research Journal that work submitted for review has not been previously published and is not
scheduled for publication elsewhere. If other published or submitted papers exist that are based
on the same or closely related data sets, such papers should be noted and referenced in a cover
letter to the editor, and their relation to the submitted paper should be explained briefly.
Style Sheet for Copyeditors and Authors
We follow Chicago Manual of Style strictly, us ing documentation one style and capitalizing titles
in bibliographies.
Heads
In heads and subheads of all AICRJ articles, all nouns, pronouns, adjectives, verbs, and adverbs,
and subordinating conjunctions (if, because, since, that, etc.) are capitalized in titles; all
coordinating conjunctions (and, but, or, for, nor) and prepositions (behind, among) are not. No
endnotes are allowed on heads.
Epigraphs
All epigraphs appear with the author’s name and the title of the book (not the date or any other
information). No endnotes are allowed on epigraphs. The author’s name should be preceded by
an em-dash.
The individual as an entity is invalid. … The individual as the end product of heredity and
environment is incomplete. Individualism is dead.
—Harry Gamboa, Urban Exile: The Collected Writings of Harry Gamboa
Subheads
With few exceptions, all articles should have subheads (this is our house style, Chicago has no
comment on subheads either way) for ease of reading. Please query authors for subheads if they
are missing. Feel free to suggest possible subheads. Please check heads and subheads for levels
and query authors if unclear. The first paragraph after a subhead is not indented. Unless the
article is in social science style (with an abstract, methodology, etc.), the article should never
start with a subhead (e.g., no Introduction).
Punctuation
AICRJ uses a serial comma and punctuation appears before the final quotation mark. A colon is
used to introduce a formal statement, a speech in dialogue, or an extract. Some examples:
The plane landed in Kampala, Uganda, that evening.
Gilford’s comment, “It appears to be damaged,” was unexpected.
The winners were France, 4; Germany, 5; Great Britain, 1.
From 1968 to 1972 the plane had arrived intact at Washington, D.C. (But use “DC” in the
Notes section).
Acronyms like NEH and AFL-CIO don’t have periods.
Plurals
One can omit the possessive apostrophe from organizations like city government or carpenters
union, but be sure to include it in other proper nouns (e.g., Kansas’s). Plurals of acronyms appear
with lower cases (e.g., NGOs). Plurals of titles: two Chicago Tribunes, three New York Times.
Non-English Words
If a word can be found in an English dictionary, it should not be italicized. Proper nouns are not
italicized. We italicize each instance of a foreign word, not just the first mention.
Special Words
Use more than in front of numbers or quantities; use over in front of terms such as the course of,
the next few years, etc. Some words are treated specially:
United States is spelled out as a noun, but is spelled US as an adjective.
Robert Jones Jr. and E. F. Hutton III
worldwide web, website
Internet (uppercase)
Compound Words
Remember Chicago’s rules concerning hyphenated and closed compounds. Do not use a hyphen
before compound words including an adverb. Some examples:
Our early-twentieth-century poet, who was famous worldwide for his rhyme-making
procedures and for always being a poorly attired scrounger, was an able-bodied sailor and
a well-known crook. He had upper-class parents. He was an anti-Semitic, French
Canadian, sixty-five-year-old man with a devil-may-care attitude. He was twenty-four
years old when he started running in a little-known race in the late-nineteenth century.
Capitalization of Words in Text
Remember that Chicago prefers lowercase job titles unless they appear in front of a name. AICRJ
house style includes capitalizing “Native” in reference to Native peoples. Some examples:
C. K. Schmidt, the president of the United States, told the senator from Ohio State that
Representative Olga Parker should talk to the professor of political science at the
Department of History at the University of Chicago. Many Natives live in the Southwest,
as they do all over the West Coast. Delfina Cuero was noted for her knowledge of native
plants. In the spring and fall, we go out on Mondays. The Bible was written by the
Almighty. The Mexican Revolution happened before World War I.
Italics
Use italics for titles and for foreign words. Authors should not be allowed to use italics for
emphasis except rarely. If the word can be found in an English dictionary, it should not be
italicized. Special terminology being introduced is set in italics on first appearance. Words used
as words are set in italics as well.
Books: A Sacred Path Painting: El General
Movies: Skins TV Program: Grand Street
Poem: “She Had Some Horses” Radio Program: All Things Considered
(unless it is a book- length poem,
as in The Wasteland)
Numbers
Whole numbers from one through ninety-nine are spelled out and round numbers above that (e.g.
two thousand years) are also spelled out, unless in a percentage (e.g., 45 percent voted). We
show dates with the day first and the month second (e.g., 6 October 1924). We use the full
decade in numerals (e.g., 1920s not twenties). The year should never appear abbreviated (always
1990, not ’90). Use commas in all numbers over three digits (e.g., 1,000) except dates (1920).
We use Chicago’s crazy abbreviated number style (e.g., 343–45) with an en-dash; see Chicago.
We discourage in-text superscript numbers in headlines or subheads. Move them to the body of
the text whenever feasible.
Quotations
When a quotation is used as part of a sentence, it is okay to begin it with a lowercase letter even
thought the original begins with a capital letter or vice versa.
Franklin advises us to “plough deep while sluggards sleep.” But, as Franklin advised,
“Plough deep while sluggards sleep.”
Figures
References to figures are spelled out in text, but abbreviated in parenthetical references (e.g., see
fig. 1). An example of a caption:
Fig. 1. Gamboa’s model of a random curve. Above left, William Livingston. Reprinted,
by permission from Gamboa, Urban Exile, 82.
Layout
First paragraphs after a head are not indented. Subsequent paragraphs are.
Acknowledgments
If there are several acknowledgments, they should be listed under the heading
“Acknowledgments” just before the Notes.
Documentation: Endnotes
AICRJ uses the endnote documentation system. If the first note is about previous publication or
acknowledgments, it should be unnumbered. Note numbers appear at the end of a sentence,
outside punctuation.
1. For a discussion on the first animal in the Midewiwin ritual, see Michael M.
Pomedli, “The Otter: Laughter and Treaty Three,” Trente-deuxième Congrès des
Algonquinistes (Winnipeg: Université de Manitoba, 2001), 359–73.
2. Robert E. and Pat Ritzenthaler, The Woodland Indians of the Western Great
Lakes (Garden City, NY: Natural History Press, 1970), 87.

Imagery in the Midewiwin,” in David W. Penney, ed., Bulletin of the Detroit Institute of
Arts 62 (1986): 51.
Subsequent notes should include author’s name, shortened title, and page number. If the note
immediately follows the same citation, use “Ibid.” and the page number.

ELECTRONIC IMAGE GUIDELINES FOR THE AMERICAN INDIAN CULTURE
AND RESEARCH JOURNAL
1. Images should be scanned in grayscale between 266 and 300 dpi. They should be
approximately the print size (e.g., a 8x10 print should be scanned at 4x5). Typically, with
popular scan software, large images are scanned at 72 dpi at actual size; while it is possible for
us to reduce the dimensions and increase the dpi, it produces an inferior result.
2. File formats should be .tif or .eps. Acrobat (.pdf) can be used, but usually incorporates some
compression and therefore is not as sharp. Acrobat also must be processed by the typesetter
before placing in a Quark (publishing software) file, so it is less efficient. If a contributor must
use .pdf format, she or he should be sure that all compression is off or set to minimal values and
that the dpi is not greatly reduced (it should be between 266 and 300). If using .tif format, do not
use LZW compression.
3. Following the above guidelines will result in large files, probably 2.5 MB, but this is the
standard for print production (as opposed to laser or inkjet). Files can be compressed using
WinZip or StuffIt if being sent via email.
4. We will make adjustments to the highlight and shadow values for optimal print quality, so just
leave scan software at default settings, or “auto.”
5. We can also make decent desktop scans ourselves if necessary. Originals are best. Inkjet
prints, while sometimes usable, tend to “band” and create more patterns. Scans from printed
material also cause those patterns because of the halftone dots, so original prints are best.
6. For computer-generated images created in Illustrator, Draw, or other vector programs, save as
.eps. We can make any changes to these files as necessary. For images created in Photoshop or
other raster- image programs, follow above guidelines as to format and resolution, and save as
grayscale (not RGB). For images created and/or embedded in Word, Excel, etc., save as .eps if
possible, or .pcx if necessary. These images are highly problematic and should be avoided, but
pie charts, etc. are often created this way. Often they must be recreated by us in Illustrator, but as
they sometimes import successfully in the native format, we can try to work with them if
necessary. However, these images are often captured screen shots that are embedded in Word,
and therefore are extremely low-resolution. Check with your editor before attempting to
incorporate these in your article.
