About the Author
Frederick Webb Hodge (1864–1956) was an American ethnologist, historian, editor, and authority on the Indigenous peoples of the southwestern United States and Mexico. Trained in anthropology and associated with the Bureau of American Ethnology, he devoted his career to documenting Native histories, languages, cultures, and traditions through careful archival research and field-based scholarship. He later served as director of the Museum of the American Indian, Heye Foundation, helping expand public access to Indigenous art and material culture. Hodge’s work remains valued for its breadth, detailed documentation, and historical importance in the development of American ethnology.
