  PBS - THE WEST - Frank Hamilton Cushing
Cushing was born July 22, 1857, in the town of Northeast, in Pennsylvania’s Erie county.
Cushing returned to the Zuni pueblo for more study in late 1882, but frequent illnesses, his spending of much government money, and his controversial involvement in a Zuni-Navajo clash led the Bureau of Ethnology to call him back to Washington in 1884.
Moreover, Cushing’s analysis of Zuni life took him several steps along the path of cultural relativism which was later to become critical to the development of anthropology as a discipline.

Cushing was born in northeast Pennsylvania in 1857 and moved with his family to New York in 1870.
Among Cushings many accomplishments were the discovery of archeological troves giving a lot of information about the Florida Indians, the exploration of abandoned Indian villages in the Southwest, the beginning of a study of prehistoric remains in Maine, and his studies of the Zuni Pueblo tribe in New Mexico.
Cushing was the first to use the term 'chiefdom' and the first to attempt to explain the issue of sociopolitical complexity in societies (Exploration of Ancient Key-Dweller Pp.1).

Hodge responded that he had a "considerable body of Cushing's notes" but that they were "in much of a jumble" and a "mess." He then proceeded, at some epistolary length, to accuse Cushing, his former brother-in-law, of faking an artifact, a turquoise-encrusted toad.
Additionally, Cushing brilliantly anticipated modern strategies of multidisciplinary teamwork, with Bandelier as historian; Washington Matthews, Herman ten Kate, and Jacob L. Wortman as physical anthropologists; Magill as artist; Baxter as publicist; Hodge as secretary/amanuensis; and Cushing himself as linguist, ethnographer, and archaeologist.

Matilda Stevenson, Frank Hamilton Cushing, and Stewart Culin were the three most important of these early students of Zuni, and although modern anthropologists often disparage and ignore their work-sometimes for good, sometimes for poor reasons-these pioneers gave us an idea of the power and significance of Zuni life that has endured into our time.

Frank Hamilton Cushing was 22 years old when he arrived at the Zuni pueblo in New Mexico in 1879, the same pueblo Coronado had attacked at the start of his expedition more than three and a half centuries before.
Cushing was there on an expedition as well, as part of a U. Bureau of Ethnology team sent out to survey tribal life before the West's native peoples and their customs disappeared.
But Cushing thought the best way to understand Indians was to live as they did, so rather than observe life at the pueblo, he moved in.

In reading Cushing, the editors write, they were struck by the immediacy of his comprehension of the inextricable relationships between ancient cultures and the environments in which they lived.

This grand intellectual synthesis of Cushing's Florida fieldwork reflects his role in shaping American anthropology and in the interaction among the early structure of scientific inquiry, the geological vastness of the American continent, and the cultural diversity of its native peoples.

 H-Net Review: Nicolas G. Rosenthal on The Lost Itinerary of Frank Hamilton Cushing
Less has been written about Cushing's role as leader of the Hemenway Southwest Archaeological Expedition, which culminated in months of excavations around the area of Tempe, Arizona, and came to be known as "the first major archaeological expedition into the Southwest" (p.
It is followed by two accounts that Cushing wrote concerning the expedition's formative period, centering on the late summer and early fall of 1886, when Cushing and three Zuni friends were guests at Hemenway's summer home.
While Cushing shows respect for his Zuni friends and seeks a place within their community, it becomes clear from Cushing's writings that the expedition is essentially a colonial project to obtain hundreds of indigenous artifacts, including human remains.

In A Zuni Artist Looks at Frank Hamilton Cushing, Phil Hughte portrays the images of F. Cushing who was an American ethnologist who resided in a late nineteenth century Zuni pueblo.
However, Hughte uniquely portrays Cushing in many ways; one way he is disturbing the Zuni clowns, and another way he protects their land from U.S. troops.
This is the very reason why Cushing appears human and does not appear as the target of satire or caricture.
