The collaboration between Kroeber and Sapir was made difficult by the fact that Sapir largely followed his own interest in detailed linguistic description, ignoring the administrative pressures to which Kroeber was subject, among them the need for a speedy completion and a focus on the broader classification issues.

Strong was born in Portland, Oregon and initially studied zoology, but changed his focus to anthropology at the University of California, Berkeley, under the influence of Alfred L. Kroeber, who became his " principal teacher, mentor, and friend ".

Boas ' students such as Alfred L. Kroeber, Ruth Benedict and Margaret Mead drew on his conception of culture and cultural relativism to develop cultural anthropology in the United States.

Kroeber suggested that Sapir work on the nearly extinct Yana language, and Sapir set to work.

“ Sixteen ” ( Moak 1923: 20 ) or “ seventeen ” ( T. Kroeber 1961: 80 ) Indian fighters killed about forty Yahi, as part of a retaliatory attack for two white women and a man killed at the Workman ’ s household on Lower Concow Creek near Oroville ( Moak 1923: 18 ).

* In 2003, anthropologists Clifton and Karl Kroeber, sons of Theodora and Alfred Kroeber, edited Ishi in Three Centuries, the first scholarly book on Ishi to contain essays by Native Americans.

Kroeber also mapped them on the middle course of the Salinas River, but some recent studies give that area to the Esselen people.

In 2003, the stepbrothers Clifton and Karl Kroeber published a book of essays on Ishi's story, which they co-edited, called, Ishi in Three Centuries.

Alfred Kroeber died in Paris on October 5, 1960.

Kroeber and his students did important work collecting cultural data on western tribes of Native Americans.

Kroeber and Roland B. Dixon were very influential in the genetic classification of Native American languages in North America, being responsible for theoretical groupings such as Penutian and Hokan, based on common languages.

His book, Configurations of Cultural Growth ( 1944 ), had a lasting impact on social scientific research on genius and greatness ; Kroeber believed that genius arose out of culture at particular times, rather than holding to " the great man " theory.

Kroeber served early on as the plaintiffs ' director of research in Indians of California v. the United States, a land claim case.

In 1947, Robert F. Heizer following up on work by Professor A. L. Kroeber and William W. Elemendorf analyzed the ethnographic reports of Drake's stay at New Albion.

Steward ’ s research interests centered on “ subsistence ” — the dynamic interaction of man, environment, technology, social structure, and the organization of work — an approach Kroeber regarded as “ eccentric ,” original, and innovative.

( EthnoAdmin 2003 ) In 1931, Steward, pressed for money, began fieldwork on the Great Basin Shoshone under the auspices of Kroeber ’ s Culture Element Distribution ( CED ) survey ; in 1935 he received an appointment to the Smithsonian ’ s Bureau of American Ethnography ( BAE ), which published some of his most influential works.

He drew on the work of anthropologist Alfred Kroeber, and later critics accused him of introducing a " superorganic " concept of culture into geography.

Clark Wissler and Alfred Kroeber further developed the concept on the premise that they represent long-standing cultural divisions.

He lived his remaining years at the University of California's Anthropology Museum on Parnassus Heights in San Francisco, under the sponsorship of anthropologist Alfred Kroeber.

With support from Phoebe Hearst, anthropologist Alfred L. Kroeber and his students, including Robert F. Heizer, documented Native Californian culture in the form of photographs, audio recordings, texts, and artifacts.

Theodora Kracaw Kroeber Quinn ( March 24, 1897 – July 4, 1979 ) was a writer and anthropologist, best known for her accounts of Ishi, the last member of the Yahi tribe of California, and for her retelling of traditional narratives from several Native Californian cultures.

His first generation of students included Alfred Kroeber, Robert Lowie, Edward Sapir and Ruth Benedict, who each produced richly detailed studies of indigenous North American cultures.

Ursula Kroeber Le Guin (; born October 21, 1929 ) is an American author of novels, children's books, and short stories, mainly in the genres of fantasy and science fiction.

In a distinguished lecture before the American Anthropological Association in 1984, Clifford Geertz pointed out that the conservative critics of cultural relativism did not really understand, and were not really responding to, the ideas of Benedict, Herskovits, Kroeber and Kluckhohn.

" Ishi's remains were interred at Mount Olivet Cemetery in Colma, near San Francisco, but his brain was put in a deerskin-wrapped Pueblo Indian pottery jar and sent to the Smithsonian Institution by Kroeber in 1917, where it remained until August 10, 2000, when his descendants of the Redding Rancheria and Pit River tribes received the brain, according to both the letter and the spirit of the National Museum of the American Indian Act of 1989 ( NMAI ).

After having been left a widow in 1923 by her first husband, Clifton Brown, she studied anthropology and met and married Alfred Louis Kroeber, one of the leading American anthropologists of his generation and himself a widower.

Alfred Louis Kroeber ( June 11, 1876 – October 5, 1960 ) was an American cultural anthropologist.

To prove his thesis, Kroeber collected “ long lists of notable figures from several nationalities and historic eras ”, and then grouped them within a field and a shared cultural context, e. g., “ Configuration for American Literature ”.

Steward studied under Kroeber and Lowie at Berkeley, where his dissertation The Ceremonial Buffoon of the American Indian, a Study of Ritualized Clowning and Role Reversals was accepted in 1929.
