Harry Hoijer was a linguist and anthropologist who worked on primarily Athabaskan languages and culture.

He additionally documented the Tonkawa language, which, unfortunately, is now extinct. Hoijer's few works, sadly, makes up the bulk of material on this language.

Hoijer was a student of Edward Sapir.

Hoijer contributed greatly to the documentation of the Southern Athabaskan languages and to the reconstruction of proto-Athabaskan.
