Raymond D. Fogelson (born August 23, 1933) is an American anthropologist known for his research on American
Indians of the southeastern United States, especially the Cherokee. He is considered a founder of the subdiscipline of
ethnohistory.
He was born August 23, 1933, in Red Bank, New Jersey. In 1951 he was admitted to Wesleyan University in the
pre-med program, shifting first to psychology and then to anthropology. He received an M.A. in 1958 and a Ph.D. in
1962 from the University of Pennsylvania, where he was influenced by two Americanist anthropologists with strong
interests in psychology, Anthony F. C. Wallace and A. Irving Hallowell.
He began fieldwork with the eastern Cherokee in 1956 under the direction of the anthropologist John Gulick; fieldwork
with the Oklahoma Cherokee was conducted in 1958 and 1960. In 1960-61 Fogelson was a research fellow at the
Eastern Pennsylvania Psychiatric Institute.
In 1962 he began a teaching position at the University of Washington, during which time he did fieldwork among the
Shuswap in British Columbia, though fieldwork with Oklahoma Cherokee and Muskogee (Creek) continued through the
1960s. In 1965 he moved to the University of Chicago, where he continues to teach in the Department of Anthropology.
He has also testified extensively before congressional committees on federal recognition of Indian tribes such as the
Lumbee.
In 2006 a volume was published in his honor (New Perspectives on Native North America; see sources), consisting of
contributions from many of his former students, including Jeffrey D. Anderson, Mary Druke Becker, Margaret Bender,
Robert A. Brightman, Thomas Buckley, Raymond A. Bucko, Raymond J. DeMallie, David Dinwoodie, Frederic W.
Gleach, Michael E. Harkin, Joseph C. Jastrzembski, Sergei A. Kan, Robert E. Moore, Larry Nesper, Jean O'Brien,
Pauline Turner Strong, Greg Urban, and Barrik Van Winkle. The volume also contains articles by Regna Darnell,
Jennifer S. H. Brown, and Peter Nabokov.
