Raymond J. DeMallie

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Raymond J. Mallie (born October 16, 1946) is an American anthropologist whose work focuses on the cultural history of the peoples of the Northern Plains, particularly the Lakota. His work is informed by interrelated archival, museum-based, and ethnographic research in a manner characteristic of the ethnohistorical method.

Professor DeMallie was born in 1946 and raised in Rochester, New York. In 1964 he attend the Lewis Henry Morgan Lecture given by Fred Eggan. This experience influenced his decision to attend the University of Chicago, where Eggan would eventually serve as the chair of his dissertation committee. Other influential teachers at Chicago included Sol Tax (with whom he worked as a member of the staff of Current Anthropology), George Stocking, Ray Fogelson, and David Schneider. DeMallie's dissertation fieldwork on the Cheyenne River Indian Reservation focused on kinship and social organization, and he received his PhD in 1971. DeMallie was a member of the University of Wyoming's Department of Anthropology from 1972-73. He joined Indiana University's Anthropology Department in 1973, which allowed him to work with the department's founder, Charles Voegelin.

Professor DeMallie is currently Chancellor's Professor of Anthropology and Director of the American Indian Studies Research Institute at Indiana University.
