Excerpt: Diamond Jenness, CC (February 10, 1886, Wellington, New Zealand November 29, 1969, Chelsea, Quebec, Canada) was one of Canada's greatest early scientists and a pioneer of Canadian anthropology.

In 1926, Jenness succeeded Canada's first Chief Anthropologist, Dr. Edward Sapir, as Chief of Anthropology at the National Museum of Canada, a position he retained until his retirement in 1948. During the intervening years, although hampered by the Great Depression and World War II, he sought to expand the National Museum's exhibits, anthropological collections, and reputation, as well as to improve the recognition, understanding, and living conditions of Canada's native peoples. In 1941, eager to contribute to the war effort, he was seconded to the Royal Canadian Air Force...More: http: //booksllc.net/?id=147634We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
