An outline of Kwakiutl history, concentrating on the changes which resulted from European contact, shows the transition from traditional economic patterns to a modem, market economy. The development of the potlatch, one of their central institutions, reflects this transition and serves to represent on a socio-cultural level the vast economic changes. The nature of the early exchange enforced a controlled hierarchial structure while later forms gave way to a limitless, socially mobile society
