Potlatch Moon
The Potlatch Moon is also known as the Giving Moon among my Holistic family in Waglisla, otherwise known as Bella Bella. Every For thousands of years the Potlatch season or giving season begins in December and that moon is called the Giving Moon or Potlatch Moon. The people of the northwest have always known that it is better to give than receive.
The time of giving means that all the families who want to uplift the names that they carry prepare to give gifts to all in a great celebration of life. It can take many years to prepare for a Potlatch that may last for as many as four days. The food gatherers store up food, the artists and crafts people make ready the regalia, the women ready the young girls for the rites of puberty and the parents prepare the young to be uplifted. Sometimes weddings take place, and always those that have passed on are honored as well as those who grieve. During these times of feasting and dancing there are those who take the time to make things right and settle disputes. This winter season is when all the important social and business transactions take place.
This Potlatch Moon is dedicated to the my Holistic relatives who proudly carry on the tradition of gift giving.
