Potlatched were banned in Canada because of redistribution conflicted with the capitalist value of accumulating wealth True or false
False.
Potlatches were not banned in Canada because of redistribution conflicting with capitalist values. The The Indian Act of 1876 banned potlatches as part of the broader assimilation policies targeting Indigenous peoples in Canada. The ban was primarily driven by a desire to suppress Indigenous cultural practices and traditions, rather than any direct conflict with capitalist values.
