Research Fields* historical studies (see eligibility for other fields) *Categories* Social Sciences and Humanities *Citizenship* Unrestricted *Eligibility* The Martin Kavanagh-Pierre Gaultier LaVerendrye Fellowship at St. Paul's College was established in 1987 by Mr. Martin Kavanagh to continue study and research into the life, times, and influence of LaVerendrye, the great explorer of the Canadian West. Mr. Kavanagh believed that LaVerendrye deserves a greater place in the history of Western Canada than is sometimes acknowledged.

It is not restricted to historical studies, but may include historical geography, demographics, economics, political studies, anthropology, linguistics, the Church in Western Canada, music, Native Peoples and languages, cultural studies, and any other disciplines that might advance the objectives of the fellowship.
