About the Prize
[cid:8b6ce682-9e14-401e-a276-7b6fe389f286 at exchange.mit.edu]



The annual James Howe Prize honors the contributions of Professor of Anthropology James Howe, who retired in 2012. Howe’s scholarship has focused on the history and political struggles of the indigenous Kuna population in Panama. He has also promoted human rights throughout his distinguished career. A renowned photographer and political activist, Howe has undertaken ethnographic work to support the rights of the Kuna people. He is also  a longstanding board member of Cultural Survival—an organization that provides support to and advocates on behalf of the linguistic, cultural, and property rights of indigenous populations around the world.
