In The Wild Pi Kennedy
Pi Kennedy set his first trap when he was only 7, and 80 years later continued to trap and travel almost exclusively by dog team. His traditional knowledge of the bush is vast and sought out by scientists and journalists. He adapted his stealth skills to photograph animals, and 1,000 of his images are part of the collection of the NWT Archive. Kennedy was one of the first NWT trappers to adopt humane trapping techniques. A hunter, trapper, dog musher, naturalist, photographer, mechanic, biologist, historian, firefighter, carpenter, musician, jigger, runner and baseball player, Pi Kennedy was, above all, an outspoken advocate for the protection of caribou, forests, water and the Metis way of life.
