Contrary to the commonly-held view advanced in the literature and by Edward Sapir (1884-1939) himself that he hibernated in Canadian exile, most of the linguistic work and the initial culture and personality theorizing upon which his reputation rests were done while he was head of the Division of Anthropology within the Canadian Geological Survey, Ottawa (1910-25).
