This was a great deal of information by people that want to learn more about totem poles. Good pictures, too.
Hi from Barcelona:This book shows a very exhaustive and general vision of the history, meaning, styles and places where totem poles has been erected in the west coast.As a first approach this text overpases the highest expectations, but after you've read it all you've also got a respectful, lovely and acceptance feeling about all the first people tribes. And that's a very good thing to have after reading such a great book.
