- Scope and Contents
- This sub-series documents an unfinished memoir by Carpenter biographizing individuals who influenced his work, including Dorothy Lee, Marshall McLuhan, Arthur C. Parker, Frank Ridley, Carl Schuster, Frank Speck, and the Aivilik Inuit Ohnainewk (alternately Aninouek, Onainewk, or Harry Gibbons). It includes drafts, correspondence, notes, and accumulated biographical research. Of note in this sub-series is the transcript of an interview of Carpenter by his former student, anthropologist Harald Prins. In it he reflects on Carpenter's philosophies, his work with Marshall McLuhan and Carl Schuster, and his ethnographic projects in Papua New Guinea and the Arctic (Box 10). Also of note is an annotated draft of Carpenter's 1992 talk on Inuit ("Eskimo") art and identity, featuring Ohnainewk, "What Identity; Whose Identity" (Box 11).
