H. C. Wolfart
Hans Christoph Wolfart (born 1943) is a German-born Canadian researcher, editor, translator and
Distinguished Professor of Linguistics at the
University of Manitoba. He is a graduate of the
University of Freiburg (''German:'' Albert-Ludwigs-Universität Freiburg) as well as
Cornell University. He completed a PhD in 1969 at
Yale, and has since written and edited a corpus of over one hundred books, articles, and reference grammars. In 2008, John D. Nichols and Arden C. Ogg edited a collection of Algonquian and Iroquoian language studies in honour of Wolfart. Wolfart was made a Fellow of the
Royal Society of Canada in 1995, and his 1973 thesis is still considered the definitive work of
Plains Cree grammar. Over the last 20 years, Wolfart has recorded, transcribed and edited a host of culturally significant texts by Cree elders. Some of his students have included Cree linguist and cultural preservationist
Freda Ahenakew, and authority on the
Algonquian languages David Pentland.
