Recipe Introduction


A potlatch is a Native American tribal celebration, hosted on special occasions such as marriage, the naming of a child, or house building. Central to the ceremony are the traditions of sharing, gift giving, dancing, and feasting. This recipe by Chef Jim Garraway of the Wickaninnish Inn, which is located on the rugged west coast of the island, was inspired by potlatches given by the inn's namesake, a well-known chief of the Ahouset Nation.
