I attended many pow wows in Arizona while attending university.
They are similar and yet different than a Potlatch in that the later is by invitation and the former is usually open to the public.
I had the pleasure & honor of attending numerous west coast Potlatches. If you look closely at this Pow Wow in Albuquerque, New Mexico, you will see several dancers from west coast communities.
This is a wedding Potlatch in Port Alberni, British Columbia
