Potlatches are gatherings of guests from other tribes for the purpose of witnessing changes in status, which are celebrated with grand displays of inherited privileges and lavish distribution of property. These used to be held in better weather so the guests could come from greater distances. They could last a week or two. The majority, if not all, of the families of the village, one by one, displayed their privileges and celebrated their changes in status.
Some say property received at a potlatch was to be given back double the value. Others say that it was the reputation for wealth and liberality (control over family property, good relations with neighbors, and good marriages for children) that was gained that was important, not receiving double the value of property back.
