Kaw-Claa, a Tlingit woman in full potlatch dancing regalia, Pacific Northwest Coast in 1906

The Tlingit (pronounced as kling-kit) are indigenous peoples of the Pacific Northwest Coast. They have a matrilineal kinship system, with children considered born into the mother"s clan, and property and hereditary roles passing through the mother"s line. Their culture and society developed in the temperate rainforest of the southeast Alaskan coast and the Alexander Archipelago, which consists of more than a thousand islands.

Kaw-Claa is dressed up for a potlatch, wearing her bear claw wreath, nose ring, Tlingit tunic and traditional octopus bag held up to her chest.
Potlatch is a gift-giving feast that is practiced by many Indigenous of the Pacific Northwest Coast. During a potlatch ceremony, families would gather and give away or destroy wealth or valuable items in order to demonstrate wealth and power.

Potlatching was made illegal in Canada in 1884 in an amendment to the Indian Act, largely at the urging of missionaries and government agents who considered it "a worse than useless custom" that was seen as wasteful, unproductive, and contrary to "civilized values" of accumulation. The potlatch was seen as a key target in assimilation policies and agendas. Missionary William Duncan wrote in 1875 that the potlatch was "by far the most formidable of all obstacles in the way of Indians becoming Christians, or even civilized".

Thus in 1884, the Indian Act was revised to include clauses banning the Potlatch and making it illegal to practice. Section 3 of the Act read:

โ€œEvery Indian or other person who engages in or assists in celebrating the Indian festival known as the "Potlatch" or the Indian dance known as the "Tamanawas" is guilty of a misdemeanor, and shall be liable to imprisonment for a term not more than six nor less than two months in any gaol or other place of confinement; and, any Indian or other person who encourages, either directly or indirectly, an Indian or Indians to get up such a festival or dance, or to celebrate the same, or who shall assist in the celebration of same is guilty of a like offence, and shall be liable to the same punishment.โ€

In 1888, the anthropologist Franz Boas described the potlatch ban as a failure:

โ€œThe second reason for the discontent among the Indians is a law that was passed, some time ago, forbidding the celebrations of festivals. The so-called potlatch of all these tribes hinders the single families from accumulating wealth. It is the great desire of every chief and even of every man to collect a large amount of property, and then to give a great potlatch, a feast in which all is distributed among his friends, and, if possible, among the neighboring tribes. These feasts are so closely connected with the religious ideas of the natives, and regulate their mode of life to such an extent, that the Christian tribes near Victoria have not given them up. Every present received at a potlatch has to be returned at another potlatch, and a man who would not give his feast in due time would be considered as not paying his debts. Therefore the law is not a good one, and can not be enforced without causing general discontent. Besides, the Government is unable to enforce it. The settlements are so numerous, and the Indian agencies so large, that there is nobody to prevent the Indians doing whatsoever they like.โ€

The potlatch ban was repealed 63 years later, in 1951.

I sat on the pine floor behind her wood range and played with my doll while she sang "Beulah Land" and made biscuits for supper. It was a comforting hour, a time of homecoming, an aroma of baking bread and laughter and sharing what happened during the day. E li is, Grandmother, was a caretaker, a person who fed all who came through the countryside with no hope for supper and no place to sleep. She gathered in family and impressed on them the need to help each other; she asked no favors and gave of all she had. She walks in my memory as surely as she ever walked - and surely she walks with others too. ~ I have not forgotten what you told me, although a long time has passed. I keep it in my memory. ~

BRONCOโ€™S FIRST SLICKER LESSON, 1904. Bronco Buster Lee Warren and his crew โ€œfinishedโ€ six to eight horses per day at $5 per horse. The horses were last touched by human hands three or more years earlier at their branding. Warrenโ€™s flat-brimmed hat and single-cinch saddle were typical for the era, as were boots that came up nearly to the knee. He used his rain slicker to accustom the horse to distractions.

L.A. Huffman held his bulky camera by hand, capturing the dust in a remarkable action shot at the Bow & Arrow (a/k/a Bow-Gun) on South Sunday Creek, north of Miles City, Montana. The July 1907 issue of Scribner's magazine had an article titled "The Last Busting at the Bow-Gun," written by Huffman with 15 of his photos. In May 2017 I posted another Huffman photo of the same ride. Text and small-file digital restoration of photo by Gary Coffrin.
