Kwakiutl Texts is a book written by Franz Boas that provides a collection of traditional stories and myths from the Kwakiutl people of the Pacific Northwest Coast of North America. The book is divided into two parts, with the first part containing stories that were recorded in the Kwakiutl language and the second part providing English translations. The stories cover a range of topics, including creation myths, animal tales, and historical accounts of important events and figures in Kwakiutl culture. Boas, a renowned anthropologist and linguist, worked closely with Kwakiutl elders to collect and preserve these stories, which were in danger of being lost as the Kwakiutl people faced cultural and linguistic assimilation. Kwakiutl Texts is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history and culture of the Pacific Northwest Coast, as well as for linguists and anthropologists studying indigenous languages and oral traditions.Publications Of The Jesup North Pacific Expedition.
