Owl, Grey

Grey Owl (1888-1938), an Englishman, immigrated to Canada as Archibald Belaney in 1906 and quickly constructed an identity as a Native, assuming the Ojibwa name Wa-sha-quon-asin and eventually settling in Saskatchewan on Ajawaan Lake. He spread his message of preservation through multiple bestsellers, including "The Men of the Last Frontier, The Adventures of Sajo and Her Beaver People", and "Tales of an Empty Cabin."
