Rising from a forest mist or soaring overhead in parks and museums, magnificent cedar totem poles have captured the attention and imagination of visitors to Washington State, British Colombia, and Alaska. Discovering Totem Poles is the first guidebook to focus on the complex and fascinating histories of the specific poles visitors encounter in Seattle, Victoria, Vancouver, Alert Bay, Prince Rupert, Haida Gwaii (Queen Charlotte Islands), Ketchikan, Sitka and Juneau. It debunks common misconceptions about totem poles and explores the stories behind the making and displaying of ninety different poles. Travelers with this guide in their pocket will return home with a deeper knowledge of these monumental carvings, their place in history, and the people who made them.
