    It comes from ‘Potlatch,’ which was an Indian (Native) ceremony peculiar to the West Coast, I believe. There would be a huge party with feasting, etc., and the host would give all his belongings to the people he invited to the party. Parties would be held often, so that the previous host would get some of his stuff back. This was a way of strengthening ties within the tribe. Needless to say, this confused the white man.
