The difference being that frome the Chinook waste at least the fishes could profit while foodfights are pure stupid. Tell that to the rats and cockroaches. Come on, they don't throw it at eachother and waste it for fun. That can make me real furious.

Does anyone know if this word related to pahaska, as in "Pahaska Tepee" which was William "Buffalo Bill" Cody's place in Wyoming?
I take it you are referring to:
[From Chinook Jargon, from Nootka patshatl (to give, gift).]
From all accounts I've come across, Pahashka means 'Long Hair'

What I learned about this in Alaska is that the Potlatch was more about the redistribution and sharing of wealth. Our Tlingit guide told us that those invited to a potlatch we expected to reciprocate in the next 3-5 years. I has missed this string earlier today when I put my other post up. a potlatch would be marked by a ring on the family's totem pole. the more rings the wealthier the family. You can check my photos on photobucket.com and search kahrnh to view the albums.
