Biographical history
The Cowichan Indian Players Ltd. of Duncan, B.C., was registered in 1950 as a company, on the initiative of Frank Morrison. Morrison was a teacher for the Department of Indian Affairs at St. Catherine's School and in 1942 started to collect songs and dances of the local Cowichan Indian Band. He took the legends and rhythms and created an opera. The company was formed to perform the opera, all native performers being shareholders.
Custodial history
Records were in the custody of the Duncan law firm of Williams, Davie and Company, solicitors for the Cowichan Indian Players.
Scope and content
The fonds consists of correspondence (1950-1985), share certificates, legal agreements (including copyright and performing rights agreements of Frank Morrison), and annual reports (1966-1975, 1978-1979) of the company.
