Historical Note
Kwaḱwala is part of the Northern Wakashan language spoken by the Kwakwakaʼwakw in Western Canada. The language in this collection (both spoken and written) is in the Kingcome Inlet and Quatsino dialects. Goodfellow also collected potlach songs in Kwaḱwala from a family in Quatsino. Songs, dances, and ceremonial paraphernalia belong to First Nation families in various regions of British Columbia and it is important they be treated as treasured cultural property and not as objects for personal exploitation. Researcher Anne Goodfellow states, “To violate this would offend the sensibilities of the family involved,” which she would like to avoid even after their death.
Content Description
Field notes, cassette tapes, data cards, and photographs from research undertaken by Anne Goodfellow mostly in August 1995 on the current state of the Kwaḱwala language (Kwakiutl).
Earliest field notes and recordings date from 1993, when the research was initiated. The photographs were taken during a field trip in August 1995 in the northern Vancouver Island area, where Kwaḱwala is spoken. Some tapes are not transcribed, which is noted on individual tapes. Field research on the Kwaḱwala language involved a number of informants from the following areas: three people in Vancouver, British Columbia, three people from Quatsino (a small hamlet of 91 people located in Quatsino Sound on Northern Vancouver Island), and two people from Kingcome Inlet, British Columbia. The informants do not necessarily represent the most fluent speakers of the language; the purpose of the research is to compare speech across three different generations. Ages and backgrounds of speakers are given in the field notes.
The research was officially approved by the Band Council.

Arrangement
The field notes, tapes, and data cards are meant to be used together. Numbers in the field notes correspond to the numbers on the tapes. Lexical items have been further broken down on the data cards, as the aim of the research is to examine the use of various suffixes. Numbers on the cards correspond to the book/page number/item number in the field notes. For example, 1/23/99 would be book 1, page 23, item 99. Each speaker's cards have been separated and bundled separately. Reference to the citation “Boas 1910” indicates that a form of this stem or suffix can be found in Kwakiutl: An Illustrative Sketch by Franz Boas (Washington: Government Printing House 1910).
