Angela Sidney, CM (January 4, 1902 – July 17, 1991) was a Tagish storyteller. She co-authored two narratives of traditional Tagish legends and a historical document of Tagish place names for southern Yukon. For her linguistics and ethnography contributions, Sidney received the Order of Canada,[1][2][3] becoming the first Native woman from the Yukon to be so honoured.[4]
