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 Columbia, 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 90
different poles.
Travelers with this guide in their pockets will return home with
a deeper knowledge of the monumental carvings, their place in
history, and the people who made them.
Aldona Jonaitis is the author of a number of books including
"Art of the Northwest Coast" and, with Aaron Glass, "he Totem Pole:
An Intercultural History." She is director emerita of the
University of Alaska Museum of the North.
