(More customer reviews)If you have ever been fascinated by totem poles & wanted to know more about them, how they are carved, what ceremonies are associated with them, like the grand Potlatch, then this is the book for you!
After Pat Kramer offers Acknowledgements to all who guided her, she takes us on a wondrous tour of The Origins and History of Totem Poles; Totem Pole Symbols and Ceremonies; Identifying Totem Figures; Land of the Totem Poles with a Recommended Reading and Index section.
There are maps of both where the First People live & where the ancient & modern totem poles can be found.
Clearly written in columnar layout like a magazine with the page tops color-coded for easy access & referral. A treasure to keep.
