Description: The Keresan materials in the ACLS collection consist of two items compiled by Franz Boas, located in the "Keresan" section of the finding aid. The "Keresan word list and linguistic notes" (item Ke1.1) includes Cochiti and Laguna grammatical, linguistic, folkloristic, and ethnographic materials. There is also "Keresan lexical file" (item Ke1.2) likely derived primarily from Cochiti and Laguna fieldwork, though the extent of other languages' information is undetermined. Other materials from this collection that primarily relate to Laguna or Cochiti are listed separately in this guide.
