The Ceremonial Societies Of The Quileute Indians is a book written by Leo J. Frachtenberg in 1921. The book provides a detailed account of the ceremonial societies of the Quileute Indians, a Native American tribe located in the Pacific Northwest. Frachtenberg describes the various ceremonies and rituals that were an integral part of the Quileute culture, including the Wolf Dance, the Whale Dance, and the Thunderbird Dance. He also provides insight into the social structure and organization of the Quileute people, and how their ceremonial societies played a role in their daily lives. The book is based on Frachtenberg's fieldwork and research, which he conducted while living with the Quileute tribe for several years. It is considered a valuable resource for scholars and students of Native American studies, anthropology, and folklore.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
