Franz Boas was an American anthropologist who played a major role in the development of modern anthropology in the twentieth century. In 1897, he published his first monograph on the ceremonials of the Kwakiutl Indians, entitled The Social Organization and the Secret Societies of the Kwakiutl Indians . The Social Organization strikes as a bewildering mix of images representing artefacts, masks, totem poles, architectural plans, ceremonies and ritualistic events, "portraits" and outdoor scenes. The volume and intricacy of the images within it serve to provide a full description of a particular ceremonial, the winter ceremony. This focus sets the publication apart and gives it a unique standing among Boas' other works. The 1897 report also provides a precious insight into Boas' various skills as an ethnographer in the field; he was able to learn native languages, to note down songs and music, to draw sketches, and to work with photographers. Keywords: ceremonies events; ethnographer; Franz Boas; Kwakiutl Indians; ritualistic events
