Abstract

In 1916 George Heye, financial tycoon and the largest private collector of objects and pieces of art from Native American cultures, opened at Audubon Terrace in New York the Museum of the American Indian (which would be integrated in 1989 into the Smithsonian National Museum of American Indian). It was the culmination of a personal project that contrasted with Franz Boas’ efforts to professionalize and institutionalize Anthropology as a science with a public engagement. Revising the correspondence of both authors allows us to analyze two ways of understanding the study and dissemination of Native American cultures and two ways of understanding anthropological heritage, in a debate that somehow we still find in contemporary heritage dynamics.
