As a young boy Tiger attended the Harrisburg Academy. He was a graduate of the Hill School, Princeton, and received a MA and PHD Degrees in Anthropology at the University of Chicago. Tiger truly loved his work which was a study of the Inuit people of North West Alaska. He was one of the foremost experts in his field. The love for learning never left Tiger, he attended every conference possible in his field both in the US and Canada.
