Starting from a collection of plaster casts representing Inuit living north-west of Hudson Bay (which was made by Comer at Boas' request and was recently rediscovered in the attic of the American Museum of Natural History) the author raises questions concerning Boas' ethnography of the Inuit, particularly of those groups he could not reach while he was on Baffin Land in 1883-84. What did he intend to do in the American Arctic ? Why didn't he go back ? Why his pioneering ethnography remained incomplete ? As we celebrate the centennial of Boas' historic expedition, it appears timely to address these questions about the man who organized the anthropological discipline in the U.S.A. À partir d'une collection de masques de plâtre, moulés sur des Inuit vivant au nord-ouest de la baie d'Hudson par le capitaine Comer à la demande de Franz Boas - collection récemment retrouvée dans les greniers de l'American Museum of Natural History - on s'interroge sur l'ethnographie de Boas à propos des Inuit et en particulier de ces groupes chez qui il tenta sans succès de se rendre lors de son expédition à l'île de Baffin en 1883-1884. Que venait-il faire dans l'Arctique américain ? Pourquoi ne retourna-t-il jamais chez les Inuit ? Pourquoi son ethnographie des Inuit toute pionnière qu'elle fut resta-t-elle inachevée ? Autant de questions que la célébration du centenaire de cette expédition historique permet de poser à propos de celui qui organisa la Discipline anthropologique aux États-Unis.
