The Haffenreffer Museum of Anthropology, Brown University, owes its existence to founder Rudolf F. Haffenreffer, a New Englander who showed an early and abiding passion for the history and artifacts of Native Americans. Haffenreffer's enthusiasm, which was informed by a profound respect for contemporary natives, eventually drew him to investigate collections across North and Central America. During the 1920s, this much-respected hobbyist established a museum on his estate in Bristol, Rhode Island. That collection is now the heart of the Haffenreffer Museum of Anthropology, Brown University, and in "The Native Artisan 1999", we present 12 wonderful examples of the Native American art housed there.
