• James Rolfe Murie was born in Grand Island, Nebraska, in 1862. His mother was Skidi Pawnee and his father was an American captain and commander of a battalion of Pawnee scouts…

…His work with Dorsey ended in 1907, the same year that Dorsey was to publish a manuscript about the Pawnee under the auspices of the Carnegie Institute of Washington, which listed both Dorsey and Murie as authors. The manuscript was never finished, and much of Murie's work for the Museum unfortunately remains unpublished. He continued to live among the Pawnee and worked for both the Bureau of American Ethnology and the American Museum of Natural History. He died in 1921 after studying Pawnee and Arikara culture for over twenty-five years.
