A student of Edward Sapir's at the University of Chicago (PhD, 1931), Harry Hoijer began his career in linguistics with intensive fieldwork on the Coahuiltecan language, Tonkawa, though shortly thereafter he turned to an intensive study of Athapaskan, including several Apache languages, Navajo, Sarsi, and Galice. Employed as an instructor at the University of Chicago for several years, Hoijer moved to the new Department of Anthropology at UCLA in 1940, where he remained until his retirement.
The Hoijer Collection contains textual materials representing comparative linguistic studies of Athapascan languages, including Carrier, Chipewyan, Galice, Navajo, Sarsi, and five Apache languages and dialects, (Chiricahua, Jicarilla, Mescalero, Lipan, and San Carlos). The collection also includes four audio recordings of Loucheux (Kutchin, Gwich'in), and copies of texts collected by Hoijer from colleagues Berard Haile, Diamond Jenness, David Mandelbaum, Chic Sandoval, and Edward Sapir.
Harry Hoijer was born to immigrant Swedish parents in Chicago in 1904. He studied mathematics and engineering at the University of Chicago (B.A. 1927) and only began his research into American Indian languages as a graduate student at the University of Chicago (M.A. 1929, Ph.D. 1931). He continued at Chicago as instructor in anthropology until 1940, when he was appointed Assistant Professor in the newly formed Department of Anthropology and Sociology at the University of California, Los Angeles. At Chicago, Hoijer was most influenced by Edward Sapir, with whom he shared a lifelong professional association.
At UCLA, Hoijer was instrumental in developing the Graduate Program in Linguistics, chairing the interdepartmental program from 1959 to 1963, when the Department of Linguistics was established. His own affiliation at UCLA remained with the Department of Anthropology. With Ralph L. Beals he co-authored An Introduction to Anthropology (1953; 4th ed., 1971).
Hoijer was a visiting professor in regular and summer sessions at several universities, and taught in nine of the summer linguistic institutes sponsored by the Linguistic Society of America. From 1950 until his retirement he chaired the Committee on Research in American Indian Languages, sponsored by the American Council of Learned Societies. He served as President of the American Anthropological Association in 1958 and President of the Linguistic Society of America in 1959. He was also a consultant to the UNESCO Commission on Language and Mentality.
Hoijer placed his scholarship at the service of the community. He introduced a statement for the defense in the Sleepy Lagoon murder trial, refuting the prosecution's contention that the defendants had inherited a blood lust from the Aztec ancestors. He also joined the fight against the abusive and infamous Loyalty Oath controversy at the University of California, and was subpoenaed by the California Committee on Un-American Activities.
His many publications reflect his dedication to both linguistics and anthropology. His doctoral fieldwork on the Coahuiltecan language, Tonkawa, in Oklahoma resulted in the publication of an important sketch in the Handbook of American Indian Languages (1933). With the later publication of Tonkawa Texts (1972), Hoijer created a lasting testimony to Tonkawa culture. His later studies were concentrated on the Athapascan languages of the American Southwest and the Pacific Coast. Like the inaugural work on Tonkawa, they were the result of extensive fieldwork.
In addition to his own publications, Hoijer inherited a corpus of materials from Edward Sapir, as well as the responsibility of acting as Sapir's literary executor. The Navajo Lexicon published in 1974, was Hoijer's last major work. Like Navajo Texts (1942), it was the product of a collaboration between Hoijer and Sapir. Hoijer also served in editorial capacities on the International Journal of American Linguistics and the American Anthropologist.
An extensive bibliography of Hoijer's publications was published by William Bright in IJAL 30 (1964):169-174; this is supplemented by select bibliographies in two necrological essays: by Victoria Fromkin, in Language 53 (1977):169-173, and by Ralph L. Beals, in the American Anthropologist 79 (1977):105-110.
Dating primarily from the 1930s, the Hoijer Collection reflects the dedication to fieldwork that lay behind Harry Hoijer's extensive publications on Athapascan languages. The collection includes representative samples of his work in several Apache languages and dialects (Chiricahua, Mescalero, Jicarilla, and Lipan), Navajo, Galice, and Sarsi, as well as comparative data in several Athapascan languages.
The collection is composed of four series: (I) Correspondence, (II) Works by Harry Hoijer, (III) Works Collected by Harry Hoijer, and (IV) Recordings. The bulk of the collection consists of fieldnotes and typescripts of Hoijer's transcribed and translated texts from several Athapascan languages: Chiricahua, Jicarilla, Lipan Apache, Mescalero, and Navajo. The collection also includes samples of Hoijer's detailed linguistic notes on Carrier, Galice, Sarci, and comparative notes on Athapascan.
Hoijer's transcriptions of Navajo Songs and Night Chants (Series II) include extensive notes, with some drawings, on the conduct of the ceremony. Series III includes texts collected by Hoijer from his fellow researchers, including Berard Haile (Jicarilla), Diamond Jenness (Sarci), David Mandelbaum (San Carlos Apache), and Chic Sandoval (Navajo).
Hoijer's close association with Edward Sapir is documented at several different stages: the field notes on Navajo grammar (Kendall 4575) date to Hoijer's graduate years at Chicago; as Sapir's literary executor, Hoijer devoted several years to the publication, in 1974, of A Navajo Lexicon (see Kendall 4565 in the APS collection). Though limited, the correspondence (Series I) includes one letter from Edward Sapir.
