Description |
English: Caption on image: Third Avenue, looking North, Seattle, Washington. Golden Potlatch, Seattle, July 17-22, 1911. c1911 Hopf Bros. Co. On verso of image: Pub. for Hopf Bros. Co. Seattle. By Edward H. Mitchell, S.F. The word "Potlatch" is from the Chinook Jargon, the trade language of the North Pacific Coast Indians. It means a gift or to give. In a larger sense the Indians applied it to a great festival at which gifts were made. Seattle's Golden Potlatch will be a great festival in celebration of the gift of gold by Alaska to the world through this City, the gateway of the Northern Empire. It will be a week of carnival and jollity. The opening date, July 17, is the anniversary of the arrival of the first treasure ship. Filed in: Seattle--Streets--Third Avenue
