Beings of the Kwakwaka’wakw

The supernatural beings of the Kwakwaka’wakw (Kwakiutl) people of the Pacific Northwest Coast — the cedar-and-salmon nation of the fjords and forests of coastal British Columbia, renowned for their great potlatches, totem poles, and masked dances. From Dzunukwa, the wild giantess of the woods and giver of wealth, to Sisiutl, the dread double-headed sea-serpent, this series chronicles the powerful beings carved on the masks and crests of one of the great artistic cultures of Native North America.
