Potlach (pot luck) gift giving festivals and primary economic system practiced by indigenous people of the pacific North west coast of Canada and USA.
A ceremonial feast among certain Native American peoples of the northwest Pacific coast, as in celebration of a marriage or accession, at which the host distributes gifts according to each guest’s rank or status. Between rival groups the potlatch could involve extravagant or competitive giving and destruction by the host of valued items as a display of superior wealth.
