***About Totem Poles: Totem poles are monumental sculptures carved from large trees by indigenous peoples of the Pacific Northwest, particularly those in British Columbia, Canada. These poles are rich in symbolism and serve various purposes, including commemorating ancestral stories, clan lineages, or notable events. Totem poles are traditionally crafted from western red cedar and can be adorned with symbols and figures like ravens, eagles, bears, and human forms. Each figure typically holds a specific cultural significance and is part of a broader narrative that preserves the folklore and societal values of the community.
