(3/6) Oral societies, therefore, can invest in ceremony—feasts, song, dance, and dramatic retellings of history—as a form of collective memory. We argue that this explains some key economic benefits of the ceremonial aspects of the Potlatch.

That brings another CFL season to a close.
Our quirky, rougey, quintessentially Canadiana game. Three downs. 110-yard field. Goal posts on the goal line. It’s beautiful.
See you at the stadiums next season. Long live the CFL.
