Social Organization and the Secret Societies of the Kwakiutl Indians (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The Social Organization and the Secret Societies of the Kwakiutl Indians<br><br>My thanks are due to Mr. C. O. Hastings of Victoria British Columbia who took a series of photographs reproductions of which will be found in this report. A series of phonographic records of songs belonging to the ceremonials were transcribed by Mr. John C. Fillmore and myself. I also had opportunity to verify many of the phonographic records by letting the Indians repeat the songs two years after the records had been taken.<br><br>About the Publisher<br><br>Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
