Kwakiutl Texts is a book written by Franz Boas, a renowned anthropologist, and linguist. The book is a compilation of traditional stories and myths of the Kwakiutl people, an indigenous community living in the Pacific Northwest region of North America. The book is written in English but includes the original Kwakiutl text, providing a valuable resource for linguists and anthropologists interested in the language and culture of the Kwakiutl people. The stories and myths included in the book cover a wide range of topics, from creation myths and origin stories to tales of heroes and tricksters. The book also includes detailed notes and commentary by Boas, providing context and analysis of the stories and their cultural significance. Kwakiutl Texts is considered a seminal work in the field of anthropology and has been widely studied and referenced by scholars in the field. It provides a unique window into the culture and traditions of the Kwakiutl people and serves as an important resource for understanding the rich diversity of indigenous cultures in North America.Publications Of The Jesup North Pacific Expedition.
