He graduated from the College of the City of New York (A.B.) in 1901, and from Columbia University (Ph.D.) in 1908, where he studied under Franz Boas. In 1909, he became assistant curator at the American Museum of Natural History, New York. Influenced by Clark Wissler, Franz Boas, and others, Lowie became a specialist in American Indians. In 1917, he became assistant professor at the University of California, Berkeley. From 1925 until his retirement in 1950, he was professor of anthropology at Berkeley, where, along with Alfred Louis Kroeber, he was a central figure in anthropological scholarship on American Indians.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book contains the complete \u003ci\u003eThe Sun Dance of the Crow Indians\u003c\/i\u003e (1915) and \u003ci\u003eThe Religion of the Crow Indians\u003c\/i\u003e (1922), two important primary sources on the \u003ci\u003eApsáalooke\u003c\/i\u003e (Crow) people. As Paul Radin wrote in his obituary, \"He was one of the best ethnographers of his day, and wherever time permitted, as in the case of the Crow, every aspect of culture was studied in detail. His Crow work and his investigation of the Plains societies are in a class by themselves. The latter study, for its completeness, its clear-cut recognition of the problems involved, and its admirable solution, has never been excelled.\"\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePrimary Sources In Native North America\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis scarce antiquarian book is a selection from Bauu Institute's Primary Sources in Native North America Series.
