A
Hamatsa
shaman
from 1914. The Hamatsa are one of four secret societies among the
Kwakwaka'wakw
, an
indigenous people
of the
Pacific Northwest
coast, who live mainly in
Vancouver Island
and mainland
British Columbia
. The Hamatsa practice a
cannibalistic
ritual, but it is unknown if it is in a literal sense or merely symbolic.
