Native American ceremonies and celebrations : from potlatches to powwows

A kind of party called a potlatch, staged by native peoples of the Pacific Northwest, was marked by guests receiving gifts, not giving them, and were sometimes put on to get back at an enemy. This volume about a high-interest aspect of native cultures highlights several celebrations and ceremonies important to Native Americans across North America.
