Dorothy KennedyDorothy Kennedy was born in Victoria, BC in 1951. She has a Masters degree from the University of Victoria and a Doctorate in Anthropology from Oxford University. Together with Randy Bouchard, she founded the BC Indian Language Project in 1972, dedicted to the documentation and preservation of BC's First Nations languages, cultures, and histories. Kennedy and Bouchard's comprehensive study of the Native people of the Desolation Sound area, Sliammon Life, Sliammon Lands, was published by Talonbooks in 1983. They are also co-editors of Indian Myths & Legends from the North Pacific Coast of America, the acclaimed annotated translation of Franz Boas' landmark anthropological study, Indianischen Sagen. As Bouchard and Kennedy Research Consultants they continue to contribute to the establishment of Aboriginal rights and title claims, having recently shown that the Squamish and Lil'wat both have Aboriginal rights and title interests in the Whistler area, making them First Nations co-hosts of the 2010 Olympic Games. A tribute to one of their First Nations collaborators is the newly released The Lil'wat World of Charlie Mack. Read More Read Less
