Songhees Feast

One of three photographs from this series representing Songhees. The photographer has written: [in pencil] "Indian distribution feast by the Songish Indians Victoria Harbour V.I. No. 11. [in ink]: View of a great Potlach when over $3000 and 200 blankets with ten guns were given away. The night before the distribution the invited guests assemble in one of the largest huts, and the Indians who are going to give away goods and presents on the morrow, tear up a blanket and call out the name of one of the visitors present, and give him a strip or shred of the blanket which is to be given up when he receives a present, in exchange for the shred of blanket. I was present at a great Potlach when living in Victoria V.I. Fredk. Dally."
