Alfred Frank Whiting was born in Burlington, Vermont in 1912. After attending public schools, Whiting enrolled at the University of Vermont where he obtained a Bachelor of Science degree in 1933. Whiting then enrolled in graduate school at the University of Michigan, and received an M.A. in Taxonomic Botany the next year.
In the summer of 1935, Whiting became the Curator of Biology at the Museum of Northern Arizona. At MNA, he and Dr. Volney H. Jones, who was also from Michigan, surveyed Hopi crop plants for the Michigan Ethnobotanical Laboratory. Whiting also recorded Edmund Nequatewa, a Hopi who was an MNA staff member, who provided information about the names and uses of the cultivated and wild plants Whiting and Jones had collected on the Hopi mesas. Whiting, whose title had changed to Curator of Botany, continued to collect Hopi crops and wild plants of the area until the fall of 1937. At this time, he entered the University of Chicago to work on a Ph.D. in the combined fields of botany and anthropology.
In the summer of 1938, Whiting returned to Flagstaff and completed the Ethnobotany of the Hopi manuscript, which was published the next year in MNA Bulletin 15. Whiting spent the next two school years working on his Ph.D. in Chicago where he met and married Dorothy J. West. They moved to Flagstaff in September 1940 for two years while Whiting concluded fieldwork among the Havasupai in preparation for his dissertation on their ethnobotany. During this time, he also served as Curator at MNA.
In July 1942, Whiting and his family moved back to Chicago where he continued his graduate work until the fall of 1944. He then accepted an assistant professorship at the University of Oregon in the Anthropology department. Due to World War II and other circumstances, Whiting never finished his degree. At Oregon, Whiting taught classes and completed curatorial work at the Oregon State Museum. At Oregon, Whiting published the article “The Origin of Corn, an Evaluation of Fact and Theory” in American Anthropologist.
While in Oregon, Whiting and his wife divorced, and his two sons returned with her to Chicago. In the spring of 1947, Whiting moved to Tucson and Tumacacori and spent several years there. At the University of Arizona and the Arizona State Museum, Whiting researched and wrote “A Kino Triptych” and “The Tumacacori Census of 1796.” Whiting also briefly served as a master at the Santa Cruz Valley School in 1950-1951.
In the summer of 1951, Whiting had the opportunity to be a member of the Cornell University Cultural Seminar, which allowed international students to spend one week with various peoples of the Southwest. A year later, Whiting was awarded a two-year appointment as District Anthropologist for Ponape, Eastern Carolines, U.S. Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands. While interviewing for the position, he saw Marjorie Grant, whom he had met at the seminar the previous summer. They were soon married and moved to the South Pacific.
Once the appointment ended, Whiting and his wife went to Guam. Marjorie stayed in Guam and Whiting returned to the United States for a short trip. When Whiting learned his first wife was hospitalized, he cancelled the trip back to Guam in order to care for his two young sons. He took his sons East with him and obtained a teaching position at a high school in Rockport, Massachusetts. After Marjorie returned in August, they lived near Boston so she could work on her Ph.D. During the next summer, Whiting worked at the Children’s Museum of Bridgeport, Connecticut. Around this time, Whiting learned he had been appointed Curator of Anthropology at Dartmouth College Museum.
At Dartmouth, he prepared new exhibits, offered guided tours for beginning sociology classes to introduce students to physical and cultural anthropology, and taught several classes including one on museum methods. Soon after he arrived at Dartmouth, Whiting and his wife separated.
In 1961, Whiting was promoted to the rank of Assistant Professor and retained his title of Curator of Anthropology. Five years later he became Adjunct Assistant Professor in the Department of Anthropology while continuing as Curator. During his years at Dartmouth, Whiting published numerous book reviews, articles on museology, and articles on Hopi life. In the summer of 1974, Whiting retired and moved to Arizona. He renewed his association with MNA where he commuted once a week from his home in Cornville, Arizona to work on a revision of Ethnobotany of the Hopi.
During his retirement, Whiting intended to prepare his research for publication. This was not to be, however, as Whiting was diagnosed with bone cancer in the fall of 1977 and died a few months later.
The collection contains extensive ethnographic notes on Havasupai and Hopi culture and language, including a Walapai-Supai dictionary as well as notes on Havasupai basketry and phonetics. The Hopi materials also include a vast amount of field research on ethnobotany, ethnozoology, clothing and artifacts. All are meticulously organized by Whiting. Also included are a series of photographs from a 1941 trip to Grand Canyon and surrounding areas, depicting various aspects of Havasupai life, arts and crafts, buildings, and so on. The reels, data cartridges and CDs are audio recordings of interviews with Jim Kewanwytewa, Edmund Nequatewa and Henry Shelton, all members of the Hopi tribe. They cover a wide range of Hopi and Tewa vocabulary, including words for clothing, plants, animals and foods. Also included in the collection is a survey of Hopi arts and crafts that Whiting produced for the Indian Arts and Crafts Board in 1942, as well as field notes and photographs on the Seri from a 1951 trip to Tiburon Island, Mexico. It also includes some materials about Whiting, written around the time of his death and thereafter.
Viewing restrictions were placed on particular photographs in this collection due to the culturally sensitive nature of the subjects. These restrictions were placed by the Hopi Cultural Preservation Office. Contact the Museum of Northern Arizona Archivist for information on obtaining permission for viewing these images.
