Acknowledgements

This project grew out of the exhibit The Honour Of One Is The Honour Of All, which was produced in collaboration with the First Nations House of Learning and the U.B.C. Museum of Anthropology in 1994.

We are indebted to the First Nations men and women who received their honourary degrees. We also wish to acknowledge their families and friends for their encouragement and support. Since receiving their honourary degrees from UBC, three of the recipients have passed away. We would like to pay our respects to the families of the late George Manuel, Margaret Siwallace, and Elijah Edward Smith.

Kirkness; Dr. Simon Baker; Dr. Minnie Croft; Dr. Vincent Stogan; from the UBC Ceremonies & Events Office; Joan King & Eilish Courtney; David Neel; Bill McLennan; Alexis MacDonald Seto; Eden Robinson; Dr. Michael Ames; Dr. Michael Kew; Jo-ann Archibald, Director of the FNHL; and Wendy Ancell, from the Union of British Columbia Indian Chiefs.
