Among the Native Americans of the Pacific Northwest, especially the Kwakiutl people, the potlatch was a competitive ceremonial festival where lavish gifts were given to the guests, and property was destroyed in a show of wealth that the guests would later attempt to surpass. The term is informally used in the US and Canada to describe a wild party.
A potlatch was a Native American gathering. It was a huge feast. There would be a variety of foods to eat. Meat such as buffalo, deer, and moose would be served. Vegetables and other crops would also be served. The most important thing about food at a potlatch was to ensure that there was so much food that it would not all be finished.
