What does the Alaskan Totem pole mean?
I got this reference from Wikipedia. –quote– Totem poles are monumental sculptures carved from large trees, usually cedar, but mostly Western Redcedar, 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” –/quote– http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Totem_pole Yes. A Totem Pole is considered to be the symbol of a North American native clan. http://gocalifornia.about.com/od/ak/a/totempole.
