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.

Description: The Klallam materials in the ACLS collection consist of three items in the "Clallam" section of the finding aid. The earliest is a Klallam vocabulary from 1888 (item S2f.1), recorded by Franz Boas, with some comparison with Lkwungen ("Songish"). Two later documents are linguistic notes and vocabulary (items S2f.2 and S2f.3), focusing in part on diminutive and plural forms. One is recorded from "Mrs. Mahone" (Rosa Mahone?), a Klallam (nəxʷsƛ̕ay̕əm) woman residing in Neah Bay. This and another item were previously identified as being recorded by Boas. The handwriting does not match Boas and there is no record of him being in the area in 1917. The recorder appears to Leo Frachtenberg, who was working with Quileute people at nearby La Push, Washington at that time.

Description: The Ktunaxa materials in the ACLS collection are extensive and concentrated primarily in the "Kutenai" section of the finding aid, which contains a full listing of all contents. The earliest materials in this section linguistic manuscripts by Jesuit missionaries such as Phillippo Canestrelli (item Ku.15) and John Post (item Ku.11), as well as extensive linguistic and anthropological field notes by Alexander Chamberlain (items Ku.9 and Ku.10), all from the 1890s. Subsequently, James Teit's "Traditions and information regarding the Tonaxa" (item Ku.16) from 1913 includes ethnographic and historical information, recorded in part at Tobacco Plains. The most voluminous amount of material overall is that of Franz Boas, recorded in the 1910s, which includes numerous field notebooks, lexical files, and related notes (items Ku.1, Ku.2, Ku.3, Ku.4, Ku.5, Ku.6, Ku.7, Ku.8, and Ku.17). Finally, see also Paul Garvin's field notes from 1947, containing Lower Kutenai recorded at Bonner's Ferry, Idaho; Cranbrook, B.C.; Creston, B.C.; and Elmo, Montana (item Ku.14 for the notebooks, and Ku.13 for slips).

Description: The Kwakwaka'wakw materials in the ACLS collection are located predominantly in the "Kwakiutl" section of the finding aid, which contains a full listing of all materials (other relevant sections are "Northwest Coast", "Bella Bella (Heitsuk)", and item AfBnd.4 in "Non-American and non-linguistic material"). Some of the larger individual sets of materials listed within this section also have their own specific tables of contents (available upon request) detailing their often highly diverse contents. Overall, the vast majority of the material is made of of 1) manuscripts sent to Boas by George Hunt from the 1890s to the 1930s, frequently in both Kwak'wala and English, covering a very broad range of Kwakwaka'wakw history, culture, languages, customs, and traditions; and 2) field work materials recorded by Boas and Boas' own analyses of material sent by Hunt, covering a similar range of topics. Additional materials by other individuals focus especially on linguistic and ethnographic matters. Also see the guide entry "Kwakiutl materials, Franz Boas Papers" for information on the correspondence between Boas and Hunt, which gives additional context to the materials in the ACLS collection.
