The ARF mourns the loss of ARF Research Associate Dr. Ira Jacknis.
Ira was a research anthropologist at the Phoebe A. Hearst Museum of Anthropology and a regular participant in ARF discussions particularly around museum science and the traditions of the Pacific Northwest. He was a generous scholar and he will be missed. A memorial posted by Ira's longtime collaborator Professor Regna Darnell has been shared by the History of Anthropology Review.
