| Summary: | 30- 3 inch discs; 21 microfilm reels; photographs, 413 slides, over 732 digital images, and oversize materials. Stewart Raby, 69, died suddenly in his Regina home on 1 August 2009. The only child of Violetta and Edwin Raby, Stewart was born in Ossett, Yorkshire, UK, and immigrated to Canada in 1965 to take up a career as a professor, a scholar, and a leading authority on First Nations ‘ land claims. Stewart earned degrees from Oxford University and from the University of Alberta, before receiving his PhD in geography from the University of Wales at Swansea. In 1965 he began teaching first at the University of Saskatchewan, then at the University of Windsor, and finally in Ottawa. While in Ottawa, Stewart was hired as a Senior Researcher for the 1969 Barber Commission inquiry into Indian land claims. This in turn led to a staff position with the Federation of Saskatchewan Indian Nations (FSIN) in the early 1980s, where he served as Head Researcher on specific claims. Over the years, his work with FSIN was instrumental in the resolution of many important claims throughout Saskatchewan. Though raised in the Church of England, Stewart became a convinced Quaker (Religious Society of Friends) and was an influential member of Regina Allowed Meeting and Prairie Monthly Meeting. Music and literature were passions. Organized into 12 series: |
