Description
Totem poles serve as important illustrations of family lineage and the cultural heritage native peoples who live in the islands and coastal areas of North America's Pacific Northwest, especially British Columbia, Canada, and coastal areas of Washington and southeastern Alaska in the United States. The Totem Poles are unique to the North West Coast. They were carved from western red cedar and each carving, tells of a real or mythical event. They were not idols, nor were they worshipped. Each carving on each Pole has a meaning. The eagle represents the kingdom of the air. The whale the lordship on the sea. The wolf the genius of the land and the frog, the transitional line between land and sea. Thanks for visiting my gallery!
