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.
