Description In 1897, the American Museum of Natural History launched an investigation into the relationship between the peoples of northeastern Asia and northwestern North America. The six-year venture involved fieldwork among the principal tribes of those regions, and was funded by museum president Morris K. Jessup (1830-1908). Franz Boas directed the project.
