Potlatch (indecl.) est conventus et certamen nativorum Americanorum litoris Pacifici, in Columbia Britannica, in quo duces gentium dona inter se ferunt. Gentes Haida?, Tlingit?, et Kwakiutl? potlatch habent. In conventu, vulgus cenam ritualem salmonis et phocae comedunt et tunc dona duces ferunt.
Dona lati sunt pelles lutrarum vel parvae laminae cupri. Hospes ostendit opulentiam cum maximis donis maximisque cenis; ita hospes superior visus est ab aliis ducibus. Postero anno, hospes in terra alterius gentis est, et hospes novus maiora dona fert.
Potlatch ethnologis usui est, si ordines societatis et hierarchiam gentium investigare et experiri volunt.
