Potlatch is a custom OF distributing
gifts practiced by the Kawiutl. Chin
syan and other tribes of the north
west coast. The principal actor In the
ceremony is some member of the tribe
who has spent years in accommodating
treasures of all kinds, which he gives
away in one grand display OF generosi-
ty. All the tTtbesmen of the villages
for miles around attend the ceremony.
Honor binds the recipients of the gifts.
however, to such an extent that they
become indebted to the giver to double
the amount of the present, so that the
potlatch is, instead of an extravaganza,
wise investment against future need.
