Timeline
Marjorie Halpin (February 11, 1937 – August 30, 2000) was an American-Canadian anthropologist best known for her work on Northwest Coast art and culture, especially the Tsimshian and Gitksan peoples.
She earned an M.A. from George Washington University in 1963.
She worked for five years for the Smithsonian Institution.
In 1968 she moved to Vancouver, British Columbia, to begin doctoral work at the University of British Columbia, where she worked closely under the anthropologist Wilson Duff.
Her 1973 Ph.D. thesis, The Tsimshian Crest System: A Study Based on Museum Specimens and the Marius Barbeau and William Beynon Field Notes, is considered an important early structuralist study of Northwest Coast culture.
It was also the first monograph based on systematic and theoretically engaged analysis of the unpublished Barbeau-Beynon treasure-trove of ethnographic data, for which Duff had compiled a voluminous set of summaries.
Also in 1973, Halpin was appointed to UBC's anthropology faculty, where she served for the remainder of her career.
She eventually became curator of the Northwest Coast collection at UBC's Museum of Anthropology, a collection which she helped bring to international prominence.
In 1980 Halpin did fieldwork on Tsimshian personal naming practices in Hartley Bay, B.C., working with descendants of some of Beynon's informants.
Her list of publications included a best-selling guide to totem poles, a well-known edited volume on the sasquatch, and an early study of Beynon's life and work.
In 1997, Halpin, with her colleague Margaret Seguin Anderson, did fieldwork in the Gitksan village of Gitsegukla, B.C. This was part of her process to realize a long-term ambition to publish Beynon's four volumes of fieldnotes from a 1945 totem pole-raising ceremony in that community.
The resulting volume, with extensive commentary and new information, was published shortly before Halpin's death in 2000.
Also in the last year of her life, Halpin participated in a major Northwest Coast studies conference in Paris in honor of Claude Lévi-Strauss, a renowned French anthropologist.
She was recognized for her pivotal role at the intersection of French structuralism and the study of Northwest Coast cultures.
Marjorie Myers Halpin died August 30, 2000, of cancer, at her home in White Rock, B.C., at the age of 63.
