The totem pole is immensely important to Northwest Coast people while holding a place in popular culture from fashion to the funny pages. This book describes and pictures its place since Europeans first arrived on the scene, its spread from the Northwest Coast to World's Fairs and global theme parks, and the part these carvings have played in Native struggles for control of their cultures and their lands.
