Wow! Impressive. I saw it came from Canada but is similar to totems from much of the Pacific Northwest. I lived 90 miles south of the Canadian border & many of the tribes in that area had similar totems.
The Haida crest pole (or 'totem pole') can be seen from every spot in the Museum. In Book One, Dennis who works as a front-of-house gallery attendant, tells the story about the frog who swam to the Haidi Gwaii island off the coast of Canada, and was nearly eaten by a bear.
Crest pole, from Star House Massett village, Queen Charlotte Islands (Haida Gwaii), Canada.
