Description
Photo taken in Duncan, BC. Totem was carved by a member of the Cowichan Tribe of the Coast Salish Nation.
Totem poles are monumental sculptures carved from large trees, mostly Western Red Cedar, by cultures of the indigenous peoples of the Pacific Northwest Coast of North America. The word totem is derived from the Ojibwe word odoodem, "his kinship group".

Thanks, Eva. I grew up in Duncan and can still remember hearing the drums coming from the long house on a hill close to town. A long long time ago. ;-)

Very nice Theresa. Excellent detail and vivid colours. I also like how the textures vary depending on grain and tools used. Well done. F+V
