6. Potlatch:
Generally speaking, this is an event where people are invited to attend a ceremony or occasion where their bonds with the party host(s) are reaffirmed through the host(s) giving gifts and other goods to the attendees out of appreciation. The video clip discusses a funeral potlach held specifically to commemorate the life and death of a person.
The potlatch video clip explains the significance of a funeral potlatch or mode of distribution and exchange where people pay their last respects to the deceased and in return are offered food and drink, often at a reception or celebration of life party. Based on the video, why is this type of potlatch significant? Can you think of anything similar that exists in your own culture?
