Pat,
Is Kenny McLean related in any way to 'The Wild McLeans'? They hailed =
from Hat Creek Ranch, owned and operated by Donald McLean before he was =
killed in 1864. His Aboriginal wife, Sofia, had to leave the property =
two years after his death and the boys formed a gang and ran riot =
through the Cariboo. They were hung in 1881 for shooting Sheriff Johnny =
Usher. The boys, Allan, Charlie and Archie, were all great horsemen. =
Charlie often raced at Barrington Price's track in Keremeos.

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

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

feats

Thanks so much,
