The Religion of the Kwakiutl Indians
by Franz Boas
Internet Archive: Vol. 1 and Vol. 2
Volume 1 contains the Kwakiutl texts, and Volume 2 contains the English translations. There are shamanistic texts, texts related to the winter ceremonial and other prayers, myths, along with personal anecdotes and accounts. You can also read an earlier volume of Kwakiutl Tales by Franz Boas at the Archive which has both the Kwakiutl texts and English translations.
You can find out more about the Kwakiutl people at the Kwakiutl Band Council website. For more about Boas and his work, see Wikipedia: Franz Boas.
