The Kwakiutl are an Aboriginal people in Canada. Their folk music is primarily religious and ritual, and is based around percussive instrumentation, especially rattles and whistles. The four-day Klasila festival was an important cultural display of song and dance; it occurs just before the advent of the tsetseka, or winter.
