Kwakiutl Texts

Kwakiutl Texts is a book written by Franz Boas, a renowned anthropologist, and linguist. The book is a collection of traditional stories and myths of the Kwakiutl people, a Native American tribe living in the Pacific Northwest region of North America. The stories are presented in the Kwak'wala language, with English translations provided by Boas. The book is divided into four parts, each focusing on a different aspect of Kwakiutl life, including mythology, social organization, and religious beliefs. The texts provide insight into the culture and worldview of the Kwakiutl people, as well as their relationship with the natural world. Boas' work is considered a landmark in the field of anthropology and linguistics, and Kwakiutl Texts remains a valuable resource for scholars and students of Native American studies.Publications Of The Jesup North Pacific Expedition.
