II. The Social Organization of the Kwakiutl. 



The -Kwakiutl are divided into a great many tribes, which are in 

 their turn subdivided into septs and clans. Each clan of the Kwakiutl 

 proper derives its origin from a mythical ancestor who descended from 

 heaven, arose from the under world, or emerged from out of the ocean. 

 Their crests and privileges, which will be discussed later on, are based 

 upon the adventures of their ancestors, from whom they are supposed 

 to have descended.
