CONTENT DESCRIPTION
AbstractIndex of Kwakwaka'wakw names of clans and tribes found in some of Boas & Hunt publications and manuscripts. The names are ordered according to Boas's method of alphabetizing Kwak'wala. In his spelling system, the order is: E // a // ä // e (i) // y // â // o (u) // w // h // b // p // p! // m // d // t // t! // s // dz // ts // ts! // n // g' // k· // k·! // gu (gw) // ku (kw) // k!u (k!w) // g // q // q! // l // ł // L // L (with dot below) // L!. The index gives references to published and manuscript sources with a letter code and the page and line number where the name is found in that source. The letter codes are: S = "Indianische Sagen von der Nord-Pacifischen küste Amerikas" (A. Asher & Co, 1895); M = "The social organization and the secret societies of the Kwakiutl Indians" (U.S. National Museum, 1897); III = "Kwakiutl Texts" (Publications of the Jesup North Pacific Expedition, Volume III, 1902-1905); X = "Kwakiutl Texts, Second Series" (Publications of the Jesup North Pacific Expedition, Volume X, 1906); C = "Kwakiutl Tales" (Columbia Contributions to Anthropology, Volume III, 1910); R = "Contributions to the ethnology of the Kwakiutl" (Columbia University Press, 1925); no letter code given = George Hunt manuscript.
