- William Balée (born 1954) is a professor of anthropology and environmental studies at Tulane University in New Orleans, Louisiana. He was born in Fort Lauderdale, Florida and educated at the University of Florida, Gainesville, where he received a B.A. in Anthropology before moving on to Columbia University in New York City where he earned his Ph.D. in Anthropology. After earning his Ph.D. , Balée worked for the New York Botanical Garden, collecting plants for an ethnobotany project sponsored by a Noble Grant. Later he took up a job with the Museu Goeldi in Belém, Brazil. His primary ethnographic work was with the Ka'apor indigenous culture of Maranhão, Brazil (Balée 1994). During his time in Brazil, however, he also carried out fieldwork with the Tembe, the Asurini of the Xingu River, the Arawete of the Ipishuna, which is also a tributary of the Xingu, and the Guaja. However, he is most renowned as a proponent and foremost expert of historical ecology (Balée 1998). Currently, he is undertaking ethnographic fieldwork studying the historical ecology and legal activities of the Sirionó people in eastern Bolivia.
- William Balée (Fort Lauderdale, 1954) é professor de antropologia e estudos ambientais na Universidade de Tulane em Nova Orleães, Luisiana. Graduado em antropologia pela Universidade da Flórida, em Gainesville, obteve o título de mestre e doutor em antropologia pela Universidade Columbia, em Nova Iorque, com suas pesquisas direcionadas para a teoria antropológica e a etnologia indígena brasileira entre os Urubu-Kaapor Após a obtenção do título de doutor, Balée continuou seus trabalhos entre os Urubu-Kaapor, através do Jardim Botânico de Nova Iorque, entre 1984 e 1988, coletando plantas para um projeto de etnobotânica financiada pela Noble Grant. Posteriormente, entre 1988 e 1991, seus trabalhos etnobotânicos prosseguiram através do Museu Paraense Emílio Goeldi. Com esses dois últimos projetos, ele obteve o título de Pós-Doutor. Além dos Urubu-Kaapor, Balée prossegue com seus trabalhos na amazônia brasileira e boliviana, entre outros grupos indígenas como o os Tembés, Assurinis-do-xingu e Araweté, no Pará, os Guajás no Maranhão e os Sirionó na Bolívia, todos falantes da família língüística Tupi-Guarani. No entanto, seus trabalhos tiveram um grande impacto dentro dos estudos da Ecologia histórica, o qual ele pode contribuir com os aspectos teóricos e dados relativos à adaptação dos ameríndios na amazônia.
