  • At the Bridge: James Teit and an Anthropology of Belonging

    Wendy WickwireBOOKAt the Bridge2019Cited by: 8

    At the Bridge chronicles the little-known story of James Teit, a prolific ethnographer who, from 1884 to 1922, worked with and advocated for the Indigenous peoples of British Columbia and the northwestern United States. From his base at Spences Bridge, BC, Teit forged a participant-based anthropology that was far ahead of its time. Whereas his contemporaries, including famed anthropologist Franz Boas, studied Indigenous peoples as members of “dyi…

  • Stories from the Margins: Toward a More Inclusive British Columbia Historiography

    Wendy Wickwire, Wendy C WickwireARTICLEJournal of American Folklore2005

    Drawing on the oral narratives of Okanagan storyteller Harry Robinson (1900-1990), this article challenges historians, folklorists, and others to consider how the early Boasian ethnographic archive has shaped our understanding of Aboriginal historical consciousness. At every turn, Robinson challenges the archive's fixation on a static Golden Age Past. Robinson's Coyote, for example, is important not for what he represents in the deep past, but fo…

  • The Grizzly Gave Them the Song: James Teit and Franz Boas Interpret Twin Ritual in Aboriginal British Columbia, 1897-1920

    Figures] The ethnographic archive assembled by James Teit (1864-1922) and Franz Boas (1858-1942) for the Nlaka'pamux of south central British Columbia is both large and diverse. 1 Among its contents is considerable material pertaining to the birth and rearing of twins.

  • 'We Shall Drink from the Stream and So Shall You': James A. Teit and Native Resistance in British Columbia, 1908-22

    Open AccessWendy WickwireARTICLECanadian Historical Review1998

    James A. Teit (1864–1922) is known mainly for his anthropological work among the Aboriginal peoples of south-central British Columbia. Few are aware that he was also involved in an early Native political movement. From 1908 until 1922 Teit assisted a large community of predominantly monolingual Native leaders to negotiate in the Euro-Canadian political domain. Evidence of this collaboration exists in the documents -letters, petitions, declaration…

  • Women in Ethnography: The Research of James A. Teit

    Wendy Wickwire, James A TietARTICLEEthnohistory1993

    This paper examines the research of James A. Teit (i864-1922), an ethnographer who spent much of his life documenting the ways of the Native peoples of south central British Columbia. One little-known feature of Teit's work is that he covered a wide range of women's issues, from songs, botany, and basketry, to puberty, marriage, and childbirth. This paper suggests that Teit's ethnographic writings on the Nlaka'pamux were unusually full and sympat…
