Dr. Finney鈥檚 thesis, , takes a conversation analysis approach to X瘫aad K铆l (Northern Haida) with the addition of valuable commentary and context explanations from Elder Lawrence Bell, one of the last two birth speakers of X瘫aad K铆l. Dr. Finney provides an in-depth study of the language derived from archived conversations, speeches and stories, as well as examines the use of critical phrases such as 鈥渙h dear!鈥� or 鈥減oor thing!鈥� which provide a comprehensive view of a culturally rich speech for future learners.

Dr. Finney鈥檚 contribution extends well beyond her written thesis. Along with many academic achievements and publications, Dr. Finney was the recipient of a CERi Faculty-Student Research Grant, American Association for Applied Linguistics (AAAL) Indigenous Scholar Support Fund Award, and SFU Community Trust Endowment Fund Award (CTEF).

Dr. Patrick Moore of the Department of Anthropology at UBC and external examiner for Dr. Finney, describes her thesis as a, 鈥渇ine piece of work that will be a major contribution to community language efforts.鈥�

Of her time at SFU, Dr. Finney says 鈥淚 was fortunate that my supervisor, Marianne Ignace, gave me the opportunity and freedom to explore this interesting鈥攁nd challenging!鈥攖opic, and that I had a very supportive committee. Working on a project with direct application to community language revitalization efforts was very rewarding, and I鈥檓 honoured to receive this recognition for my work.鈥�
