Sacred Texts  Native American  California 

Hupa Texts By Pliny Earle Goddard University of California Publications in American Archaeology and Ethnology Vol. 1, No. 2 [1904]

This is a collection of texts from the Hupa, who lived in Northern California, Humboldt County, on the Trinity River. The texts are unfiltered translations of stories related by Hupa at the start of the 20th century in an ethnographic context. They largely take place in a time before the arrival of human beings, populated by trickster gods and supernatural beings called Kīxûnai. The texts include a number of shamanistic formulas for healing, protection and good luck.

The following files contain music notation for songs: IX, XLIV, and XLVI.
