Dr. Hugh Dempsey and the Glenbow Museum are being sued by Buff Parry, a researcher who claims Dempsey and the Glenbow blocked his investigation of an ancient stone tablet bearing symbols matching Cree syllabics.

The tablet was uncovered a hundred years before the Rev. James Evans, who Dempsey claims invented the syllabics, set down his writing system.

Both Dempsey and Glenbow officials refused comment at press time.
