{{more citations needed|date=June 2017}}Roseanne Allen (March 7, 1954 – June 20, 2009) was a Canadian cross-country skier who competed in the 1972 Winter Olympics.[2]

Early life

Allen was born in Aklavik, Northwest Territories as a member of the Gwich'in First Nation. At age eight, Allen went to Grollier Hall residential school in Inuvik, Northwest Territories. There, she learned how to ski at age 10.[3] Allen was amongst several Aboriginal children, other notable examples being Gwich’in First Nation skiers Shirley and Sharon Firth, who were recruited and trained through the Territorial Experimental Ski Training program.[4]

Career

In 1968, at age 13, she became the youngest Canadian ever to win a Gold medal at the Canadian Junior Nordic Ski Championships, winning the 5 km race with a time of 25 minutes and 33 seconds.[5] She won gold at the Top of the World Ski Championship in 1971.[6] Allen was amongst the first Canadian Aboriginal women to be selected to compete in the Olympics, and in the 1972 Olympics in Sapporo, Japan, Allen competed in two cross-country skiing events. In the Women’s 5 kilometer, she placed 10th, and in the Women’s 3x5 kilometer relay, she placed 40th[7]

Personal life

After a short career as a competitive cross country skier, she retired from the national team in 1974 at the age of 20.[8] In 1988, she moved to Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario and began a career in health at the Indian Friendship Centre.[6] Allen married Mark Billingsley, and had a son, Nathan Allen.[6]

On June 20, 2009, Allen passed away at the age of 55.[6]
