      “My fancy was first struck by the flight of imagination exhibited in the works of art of the British Columbians.… I divined what a wealth of thought lay hidden behind the grotesque masks and the elaborately decorated utensils of these tribes.”

      —Franz Boas, The Kwakiutl of Vancouver Island
