On CBC Music's "Saturday Afternoon at the Opera," host Marion Newman played a wax-cylinder recording a relative had made at a Potlatch, back when the ceremony was banned in Canada.

I wasn't aware of that history so I had to look it up. Learned something new.

"Historically, the Potlatch functioned to redistribute wealth in what some refer to as a gift-giving ceremony. …

"As part of a policy of assimilation, the federal government banned the Potlatch from 1884 to 1951 in an amendment to the Indian Act (see Potlatch Ban). The government and its supporters saw the ceremony as anti-Christian, reckless and wasteful of personal property. They failed to understand the Potlatch’s importance as well as its communal economic exchange value."

Potlatch in Villa Occupata

Sabato 21 dicembre, dalle 19:00 alle 02:00, presso Villa Occupata, Via Litta Modignani 66

Per le popolazioni indigene della costa nord-ovest del nordamerica, i Potlatch erano importanti cerimonie rituali organizzate durante i mesi invernali in cui la comunità si ritrovava per scambiarsi o dare alle fiamme beni materiali di svariato genere, sia per ridistribuire ricchezze che per mostrare il disprezzo delle proprietà e dell’accumulo.

Per celebrare con il fuoco le festività consumistiche del capitale, abbiamo deciso di organizzare un potlatch durante il quale bruciare, sperperare e donare gli oggetti più disparati ad amici e sconosciuti.

Porta ciò che vorresti scambiare (libri, vestiti, ecc.) o bruciare (NO PLASTICA e altri materiali tossici per ambiente, animali umani e non), dalle 19 il falò divamperà, ci scalderà e terrà compagnia fino a tarda serata!

P.s. alcolismo bellavita, porta ciò che vorresti bere e condividilo

P.p.s. se vuoi suonare musichine eretiche porta il tuo strumento

Dove? in Villa Occupata a Milano, via Litta Modignani 66

Quando? Sabato 21 dicembre dalle 19

Today in Labor History July 17, 1913: Seattle’s Potlatch Riots began, when soldiers and sailors brawled with members of the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW) during Seattle’s Potlatch Festival. Alden Blethen, publisher of the "Seattle Times," who hated free speech and feared "radical elements," had been fanning the flames of reaction against the IWW and local activists. He was highly critical of liberal Mayor Cotterill for allowing IWW organizers and anarchists to speak publicly in downtown Seattle. His red-baiting led to violence, as soldiers and sailors ransacked IWW and Socialist headquarters. The riots, which followed were essentially an attempt to suppress free speech and labor organizing, and were a harbinger of the nationwide red scare leading up to and following World War I. In response to the riots, Mayor Cotterill declared an emergency, took control of the police, shut down saloons, banned street speaking and attempted to temporarily shut down the Times.

#PacificSilverweed is abundant throughout #PNW into Alaska & Arctic. Longtime important #FoodSource for #PacificNorthwest #Indigenous peoples. In BC, patches of them were protected under #potlatch #FirstNations family law.

You can note patch locations when flowers appear & then dig up roots in late Fall & Winter. The roots taste like bitter sweet potatoes.

Pacific silverweed, growing out of rocks. Green leaves, tubular running stalks & small yellow saucer shaped flower.

#Seattle #news 5 Jan 2024!
City has been continuing its oppression at BLMG🌺. We were selectively swept out of the park last night and expect more displacement tonight. Join us in resistance! Grill at 10. Beans and rice will be plentiful! Bring a dish to share!
At park close, help move mutual aid infrastructure and document our ongoing opposition to the criminalization of survival if/when we're asked to move along. 🔥

PROPOSAL: A 21st Century #Potlatch.

We the people should respond to the enormous disparity of wealth with a 21st Century Potlatch.

The world should challenge mega-millionaires and billionaires to give away 97% of their wealth back to the rest of the world.

No one needs millions or billions of dollars to live. So they should demonstrate this truth by giving back that money to the people of Earth.

> “What a big potlatch we are all members of!” To acknowledge that each of us at the table will eventually be part of the meal is not just being “realistic.” It is allowing the sacred to enter and accepting the sacramental aspect of our shaky temporary personal being.

Dr. Ida Halpern and Kwakwaka'wakw artist and singer Chief Mungo Martin worked together in the early 1950s to preserve more than 100 traditional West Coast #songs from disappearing when the #potlatch ban forbid their use.

But did Halpern #betray the trust of Martin in the way she would go on to use the #recordings?

A film by #documentary producer and director Barbara Todd Hager on the subject is in the works.

A book is being held and opened to a page with a black and white photo of a woman on it. There are official stamps on the pages.

They grow up so fast ...

Here's J59 with her mom, J37 Hy'Shqa, in a photo from last March after she was born (side by side), and in a photo from 16 days ago (daughter in front).

I'm hoping the #SamishNation will hold their #potlatch naming ceremony soon; I want to refer to her by name, not number.

Photo from March, 2022, of newborn orca female J59 swimming alongside her mother, J37 Hy'Shqa; the water is a brilliant cornflower blue, and the sun is shining on the slick black skin of the orcas. As with all orcas, the curve of J59's jaw makes her seem to be smiling.

Photo from April 8, 2023, of 1 year old orca female J59 swimming in front of her mother, J37 Hy'Shqa, The water is a chill and melancholy battleship grey, and J59 can be seen from snout to dorsal fin creating a small bow-wave of bubbling clear water as the swim right to left. In the dim, blurry background can be seen the coast, with some white buildings on the right-hand side.

#UmistaCulturalCentre was built on grounds of now demolished St. Michael's #ResidentialSchool in #AlertBay on #CormorantIsland . Owned & run by #NamgisNation on #NamgisTerritory . It houses their #potlatch #artifacts / #regalia repatriated from colonizers who stole them. No photos inside.

Front entrance to Umista Cultural Centre. Two welcome totems flank both sides of walkway to doors. Native art panels are placed on both sides of the entrance doors. The building sign is on the far left.

An educational plaque, about the site. It was former site of St. Michael's residential school. In February 2015 was demolished. Over 700 people - survivors, families & supporters - stood in the spot where plaque is now, taking part in emotional healing ceremonies as the building was taken apart.

One of two Namgis Nation welcome totems - in front of U'mista Cultural Centre.
