Catharine McClellan
Catharine "Kitty" McClellan (March 1, 1921 – March 3, 2009) was an American cultural
anthropologist who is known for her documentation of the
oral history and storytelling typical of
Athabascan speaking,
Tlingit and
Tagish peoples of the
Yukon Territory. Catharine's work extended past her academic research, as she also became an
advocate for their rights on issues such as the
Mackenzie Valley Pipeline debate in 1976. Her husband was fellow anthropologist John Hitchcock whom she married in 1974; he died in 2001 from natural health complications.
