Well, I am very appreciative of your comments and those
of Faldage immediately above yours. I am familiar
with the comments and historical things you mention.
You both have obviously done more research than I have done.
All I know is what I've read and experienced, and never
really questioned it much. You both obviously have done
so. That is good for me to read.
My grandmother was of the Tuscarora (Iroquois Confed.)
But she had friends in Washington state. She took
me with her twice to visit these folks, one time for most
of the summer. We had 2-3 Potlatches while I was there
and she explained it as a 'giveaway' to show gratitude
for blessings received from the Great Spirit. We must
share what we receive, especially with the less
fortunate. I do remember some very poor folks receiving
things for which they were grateful.
So, perhaps, based on your research, potlatch would not
fit the poster's search for a word for gift.
Thanks again.
----please, draw me a sheep----
