Totem Pole At UBC


A totem pole

We went to the Museum of Anthropology at UBC yesterday evening, since it's free Tuesday evenings. It's the best place to see art and artifacts from the people of the West coast of Canada. I worked there when I was a teenager, giving tours and presentations. I was surprised how much things have changed there, which is good, as it keeps the place dynamic.

Outside the museum there's a couple typical Coast Salish bighouses, with several totem poles. Pictured is the top of one.
