James Alexander Teit (15 April 1864 — 30 October 1922) was an anthropologist, photographer and guide who worked with Franz Boas to study Interior Salish First Nations peoples in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. He led expeditions throughout British Columbia and made many contributions towards native ethnology. He also worked with Edward Sapir of the Geological Survey of Canada in 1911. In the later part of his life Teit worked tirelessly with the native people to preserve their human rights, as discussed by Wendy Wickwire in her work At the Bridge.

  • James Alexander Teit (geb. 15. April 1864 in Lerwick, Shetland-Inseln, Schottland; gest. 30. Oktober 1922 in Spences Bridge, British Columbia) war ein britisch-kanadischer Ethnologe, Fotograf und Fremdenführer, der im späten 19. und frühen 20. Jahrhundert zusammen mit Franz Boas (1858–1942) an der Erforschung der First Nations der in British Columbia und im Nordwesten der Vereinigten Staaten beheimateten Salish-Indianer arbeitete, wobei Teits Zugang zu den Binnen-Salish (Interior Salish) die Zusammenarbeit mit dem amerikanischen Anthropologen erleichterte. Teit war von Boas angeheuert worden, um für die Jesup-Expedition Sammlungen und Forschungsarbeiten durchzuführen, deren Ziel es war, die kulturellen, sprachlichen und biologischen Verbindungen zwischen den indigenen Völkern der nördlichen Pazifikregion Amerikas und Asiens zu erforschen. Teit hatte nach seiner Auswanderung nach Kanada eine Frau aus dem Volk der Nlaka'pamux geheiratet. Er leitete Expeditionen in ganz British Columbia und leistete zahlreiche Beiträge zur Ethnologie der Eingeborenen. In den Publications der von Franz Boas geplanten und geleiteten Jesup North Pacific Expedition (1897–1902) des American Museum of Natural History erschienen von Teit Beiträge über die Thompson-Indianer, d. h. die Nlaka'pamux in British Columbia (dazu ein Band über deren Mythologie), die Lillooet-Indianer (St'at'imc) und die Shuswap (Secwepemc). Das von Teit vereinte reichhaltige mythologische Material verschiedener Indianerstämme wird z. B. von Lucien Lévy-Bruhl an verschiedenen Stellen seiner Studie herangezogen. 1911 arbeitete Teit auch mit Edward Sapir vom Geological Survey of Canada zusammen. In der späteren Zeit seines Lebens setzte sich Teit unermüdlich für die Menschenrechte der Ureinwohner ein, wie Wendy Wickwire in ihrem Buch At the Bridge beschreibt. Durch seine erste Frau namens Susanna Lucy Antko hatte Teit die Kultur und Sprache des Nlaka'pamux-Volkes kennengelernt. Nach ihrem Tod zog Teit in die kleine Stadt Spences Bridge in British Columbia, wo er Josephine Morens heiratete. Gemeinsam hatten sie sechs Kinder. (de)

Teit was born in Lerwick, Shetland, Scotland but immigrated to Canada and married a Nlaka'pamux woman named Susanna Lucy Antko. It was through his wife that he became knowledgeable of the culture and language of the Nlaka'pamux people. Lucy died of pneumonia in 1899. After his wife's death Teit moved to the small town of Spences Bridge, British Columbia. While living there he married Josephine Morens. Together they had six children: Erik 1905, Inga 1907, Magnus 1909, Rolf 1912, Sigurd 1915, and Thorald 1919. Inga and Erik are buried in the Morens family graveyard with their baby brother. James and Josephine are buried in Merritt B.C. (en)
