Kwakiutl Potlatch: Northwest Coast Canada, 1790

But what a party! You're at a traditional Kwakiutl potlatch along the Pacific Northwest coast of Canada. This potlatch is celebrating the birth of a child. There are goods piled high, everything from blankets to extremely rare copper shields. The host is handing valuable things out to everyone.
