- Nancy Oestreich Lurie (January 29, 1924 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin - May 13, 2017) was an American anthropologist who specialized in the study of North American Indian history and culture.
- Lurie’s research specialties were ethnohistory, action anthropology and museology; her areal focus was on North American Indians, especially the Ho-Chunk (aka Winnebago) and the Dogrib (Tlicho) of the Canadian NWT; and the comparative study of territorial minorities.During the mid-20th century, she represented several tribes as an expert witness at a time of Native American activism when tribes were pressing to make claims for compensation of lands they were forced to cede and for which they did not receive adequate payment.
- Her experience with ethnohistory enabled her to research documentation that helped represent their claims.
