| Abstract | Printed map later hand-annotated by Franz Boas. "Southern Part of Hecate Strait" map published by the U.S. Navy Hydrographic Office, 26th edition, 1918. Hand annotations made by Franz Boas, most likely in or near 1923, when he visited Rivers Inlet. Earlier cataloging of this map incorrectly titled it as a "Linguistic map." Boas's hand annotations in red pen reflect his attempts to understand the territories and associated group names of indigenous peoples of the area. Most of the names he notes are "bands" or nations associated with larger cultural groups, including Tsimshian, Heiltsuk ("Bella Bella"), Nuxalk ("Bella Coola"), Wuikiunuxv ("Ooweekeno"), and Kwakwaka'wakw (specifically Gwa'sala). The map also includes many indigenous place names in red pen or often faint pencil. Left portion of map extending into the Pacific appears to have been torn off. | ||
