The Kwakiutl tribes live in the central part of the British Columbia coast.

The homes are realised with hand-cut cedar planks, with no windows, and a painted facade, and with different engraved totem poles.

The population held very complex rituals.

The Kwakiutl ceremonies are made up of downright theatrical performances, with masked dancers, song and speeches, in which legends belonging to and passed down within families are often replicated.
