About the Item

Totem poles are intricately carved and painted sculptures with designs holding spiritual significance for particular families, clans, or tribes. Some were created to offer protection, while others depicted a family’s ancestry or social status. Totem poles are traditional to Northwest tribes, including the Tlingit, Haida, Bella Coola, Chinook, Tsimshian, and Coastal Salish. Native American totems showcases a range of styles, with pieces varying in size from 8 inches to over 50 feet.
