The Haida people lived in the Pacific Northwest, and part of their culture included the creation and display of totem poles. In the late 1800s, a master totem pole designer of Haida descent designed the Raven Totem Pole. It stood in Jasper for 94 years. However, weathering and deterioration made it unsafe, and in 2011 it was removed, and a new totem pole was erected.
The new totem pole is very different from the original. It was carved by Jaalen and Gwaai Edenshaw, Haida artists. You should look up the story of the Two Brothers Totem Pole.
It is 44 feet tall and represents Haida culture. The pole features various figures, including a mountain goat, a bear, a woman, and a dragon fly. Each of these is connected to the story of the two brothers.
The totem pole in the picture is a creative rendering. But as with all totem poles, it is meant to tell a story. What items would you include on a totem pole related to your family history?
