Where did the potlatch take place?

The potlatch is a ceremonial feast practiced by Indigenous peoples of the Pacific Northwest Coast of North America, particularly among groups like the Coast Salish, Kwakwaka'wakw, and Tlingit. These gatherings often took place in large communal houses or clan longhouses, where hosts would distribute wealth and gifts to demonstrate their status and strengthen social ties. Potlatch ceremonies were integral to cultural identity and social organization within these communities.
