Description
Excerpt from The Social Organization and the Secret Societies of the Kwakiutl Indians
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.
