Why is generosity important? When have I intentionally reduced spending habits in order to be more generous to another person, family or friend? The potlatch and longhouse ceremonies bring together our First Nations and Native American families in our villages. It is a time when we join together to share in significant life events such as an ancestral naming, coming of age rites of passage, funerals, memorials and feasts. The host family distributes the resources and wealth accumulated over the years spent in preparation for the ceremony. Wealth can be measured by how much one is able to give away. We honour and give generously to all who attend, walk beside us and work with us. Generosity is a learned behavior that involves both attitude and action. You can give of your monetary wealth, belongings, skills, time, or personal availability to benefit others.
