More Totems

Stanley Park, Vancouver, British Columbia

On the right is Chief Skedans Mortuary Pole - the Moon at the top signifies a chief.
The rectangular board at the top of the original pole covered a cavity that held the chief's remains.
The next one over has a legendary bird, the Quolus, on top, with the Red Cedar-bark man under
holding a canoe. He was an ancester who survived the great flood and gave the people the first canoe.


other sizes: small medium original auto
