Hunt, George
The George Hunt Kwak'wala ethnographic manuscripts consist of 30 volumes (about 8,500 pages) of linguistic and ethnographic notes made about the Kwakwaka'wakw by George Hunt in Fort Rupert between about 1898 and about 1931, at the request of and in collaboration with Franz Boas. The texts, which contain a wide array of stories and cultural information, were written by Hunt in Kwakʼwala with interlinear English translations. The material also includes two of the published volumes that resulted, with Boas's annotations correlating the printed texts to the manuscripts.
