Hello Lauren,
One primary source would be the family of Kenny McLean, 1939-2002, =20
world champion saddle bronc champion, from Okanagan Falls, BC. This =20=
is a quickly found link-- you can certainly find family members in the =20=
Okanagan Falls area to interview.

Kenny McLean: Requiem For A Cowboy
Private Members' Statement
=A0K. Krueger: On July 13, 2002, Kenny McLean passed away. He was =20
considered by many to be the greatest Canadian rodeo cowboy of all time =20=
and a true national hero. He was competing in a senior professional =20
rodeo in Taber, Alberta, when he suffered a fatal heart attack. He was =20=
63 years old. Ken was born May 13, 1939, at Okanagan Falls, B.C.
=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0
He was a tremendously gifted athlete who could have excelled in nearly =20=
any sport. Ken was breaking colts for his father on the ranch by the =20
time he was 12. By the time he was 17 he was on the road, competing in =20=
saddle bronc riding against the best rodeo cowboys in the world and =20
winning. He earned one of his first championship buckles at Kamloops =20
rodeo in 1956, Mr. Speaker, when you were a lad, and I was little more =20=
than a gleam in my daddy's eye. He went on to win almost every major =20
rodeo in North America at one time or another in his career, including =20=
the Calgary Stampede.
In 1959, at the age of 20, Kenny McLean won his first Canadian =20
championship in saddle bronc riding. He won again in 1960 and in 1961 =20=
became the first cowboy ever to be crowned Canadian champion bronc =20
rider three years in a row. In 1961 Ken was named rookie of the year on =20=
the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association circuit south of the border. =20=
In 1962 Kenny McLean earned the title of world champion saddle bronc =20
rider. After winning a world championship riding bucking horses, Ken =20
also began competing in the calf roping and steer wrestling. He quickly =20=
established himself as one of the best all around cowboys in the world, =20=
winning Canadian championships in both steer wrestling and calf roping. =20=
He was all around championship cowboy of Canada four times. Kenny =20
McLean still holds the record for the most major championships ever won =20=
by a Canadian cowboy, and that was 14. Kenny McLean became the first to =20=
be inducted into the B.C. Sports Hall of Fame in 1974. In 1976 he =20
received the Order of Canada. He is the only rodeo cowboy ever to be =20
inducted thus far as a member of the Order of Canada."
Good luck with your research!

Hi!
My name is Lauren Milden and I am working with the BC Sports Hall of
Fame
and Museum to try to locate primary and secondary sources that relate
to
Aboriginals and sport in British Columbia. This can include, for=20
example,
feats
of strength, games etc. I would really appreciate it if you
could give me an idea of the sources that your museum might house
or any other worthwhile places to search.=20
Thanks so much,
Lauren
