Marius Barbeau
Charles Marius Barbeau, (March 5, 1883 – February 27, 1969), also known as C. Marius Barbeau, or more commonly simply Marius Barbeau, was a
Canadian ethnographer and
folklorist who is today considered a founder of Canadian
anthropology. A
Rhodes Scholar, he is best known for an early championing of
Québecois folk culture, and for his exhaustive cataloguing of the social organization, narrative and musical traditions, and plastic arts of the
Tsimshianic-speaking peoples in
British Columbia (
Tsimshian,
Gitxsan, and
Nisga'a), and other
Northwest Coast peoples. He developed unconventional theories about the
peopling of the Americas.
