James Teit

James Alexander Teit (15 April 1864 — 30 October 1922)[1] was an anthropologist, photographer and guide who worked with Franz Boas to study Interior Salish First Nations peoples in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

He led expeditions throughout British Columbia and made many contributions towards native ethnology.

Teit was born in Lerwick, Shetland, Scotland[4] but immigrated to Canada and married a Nlaka'pamux woman named Susanna Lucy Antko.

After his wife's death Teit moved to the small town of Spences Bridge, British Columbia.

Inga and Erik are buried in the Morens family graveyard with their baby brother.
