9. Ceremonies and Traditions
When a boy reaches the age of twelve, they will go on their first real hunt.
Potlatch: The potlatch is a festival or ceremony. At these gatherings a family or hereditary leader hosts guests in their family's house and hold a feast for their guests. The main purpose of the potlatch is the re-distribution and reciprocity of wealth.
Sun Dance: Participants danced for four days around a sacred object, and some would inflict harm upon themselves on purpose, all while staring at the sun. They believed this self-sacrifice would encourage powerful spirits to support and defend them.
They knew there was a spirit for everything. (exa. a spirit for the grass, sun and trees.)
Before they ate, they blessed the food.
