A potlatch is like a ceremony. Some ceremonies were about if they had a baby,if they had to name a child or for a memorial which is for someone's death. At potlatches there would be a fire. At potlatches there would be drumming,singing,and dancing. At potlatches they would invite all the chiefs the father knew. They would invite all the nobles which are the relatives,so all the wife's brothers and sisters would come. They would invite the whole school as well. They would get lots of cooks for the potlatch. The whole point of a potlatch is giving away,so at a potlatch they would buy gifts for everyone.
