The Honourable Alfred “Alfie” John Scow, OC, OBC, of the Kwicksutaineuk-ah-kwa-mish First Nation was born in Alert Bay on Cormorant Island in 1927. He went to school in Richmond and later Kitsilano high before studying an LLB at UBC, graduating in 1961. He was the first Indigenous person to graduate with a degree in law from UBC.

In 2001, he founded The Scow Institute, which works to promote a greater understanding between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal people.
