Kwakiutl Legends
Category: Native American Culture
Authors: Chief James Wallas, as told to Pamela Whitaker
Copyright/published Year: 1989 by Hancock House
ISBN: 0888392303
Binding: trade pap
The stories in this book relate the traditional tales which Mr.
James Wallas has learned from his elders, who lived in Quatsino
Sound and on Hope Island. Mr. Wallas's forefathers are members of
a people known generally as the Kwakiutl, although the term is
misleading because it originally referred to a sub-group living
at Fort Rupert. The Kwakiutl inhabit an area which at present
includes Campbell River at the southern extreme, Quatsino Sound
at the western extreme, various inlets of mainland B.C. at the
eastern extreme, and Smiths Inlet at the northern extreme.
Traditionally, the Kwakiutl lived in villages located in this
general area (excluding Campbell River an Cape Mudge) which were
organized into tribes. Today, most of them live on reserves near
towns, maintaining some remote villages for food preparation and
preserving during the spring, summer and fall.
