“In the course of his research, Dr. Storey uncovered several previously unknown sources, which have shed new light on the history of the bands in question as well as the tenor of the litigation. Dr. Storey also prepared an expert report that strengthens our case by telling a complicated story clearly and succinctly. I would recommend Dr. Storey to any law firm seeking research expertise relating to First Nations history.”
“Dr. Kenton Storey is a first rate historical researcher, analyst and writer. He is highly intelligent, hardworking and a gifted researcher with substantial expertise. From 2014-2015, it was a pleasure to supervise his work for Library and Archives Canada’s Document Disclosure Project for the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada. In this capacity, he excelled in his analysis and review of sensitive material related to indigenous health, student deaths, neglect and poor conditions in residential schools across Canada. Dr. Storey ’s daily duties included quality assurance, interpretation of complex scoping, file review, data entry, analysis and collaborative work with a team of researchers, digitizers and government officials. The research he completed was critical, as it helped inform the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada’s final report and recommendations. A direct outcome of the project is a digital repository available to the general public at the National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation at the University of Manitoba. I wholeheartedly endorse Dr. Storey.”
“The writer has no hesitation in providing a recommendation for you to support your efforts.
You were jointly retained by the Olive Waller Zinkhan & Waller firm and another firm based in Winnipeg in late 2014 to prepare a historical research report for use in an action before the Federal Court of Canada involving a historical claim by a group of First Nations.
Although the action had been ongoing for a number of years and we had thought the historical background of the claim had been well researched before engaging your services, you ultimately produced a report that was not only comprehensive but also identified new facts and sources that had not previously been brought to light.
Throughout our work on the project, the writer found your approach to be highly professional and your work product is likely to be of significant benefit in the future.
As I had indicated to you, if our firm has further historical research on First Nation claim files, I will be in touch with you.”
“Kenton Storey is a professional — a trained historian with a doctorate in History, wide knowledge, and a wealth of experience in archival research. He is also a clear and persuasive writer who conveys his knowledge to broad audiences and for specific purposes.”
“We would like to thank you for your contribution to our documentary series, “The Great Trail,” which was broadcast in November 2017 on NHK, Japan’s public broadcast channel.
Through your research in corroborating the fact that the Dene people used rafts during the Fur Trade period, we were able to make our depiction of our journey on our program more true to life.
Once again, we deeply appreciate your assistance for conducting the research on such tight time constraints. ”
“Since I was unable to visit the Hudson’s Bay Company Archives in Winnipeg, I contracted Dr. Kenton Storey to gather data on my behalf. Kenton was highly professional and easy to work with in all aspects of the project – from the orientation to my research questions to the payment of his invoice. He delivered his work as promised, when promised, and at the price quoted. Indeed, Kenton exceeded my expectations in terms of the quantity of historical records gathered within the timeframe of the project.”
“While many researchers know how to find materials in archives, Kenton adds the ability to communicate both his research plans and his findings all while working within a given timeframe. Our firm asked Kenton to find materials at the Hudson’s Bay Company Archives in Winnipeg and he developed a research plan, explained what each collection might contain, provided options for follow-up research, sent very helpful reports along the way, and did everything on time and under budget. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a highly-professional historical expert or archival researcher.”
