"Carved by a British Columbian Aboriginal artist working in the Gitskan tradition, this totem was erected in a traditional pole-raising ceremony. Its design combines a number of ancient Indian symbols, including the owl, frog, bear and raven, along with contemporary motifs, such as the beaver, maple leaf and canoe.

Sculpté par un artiste autochtone de la Colombie-Britannique selon la tradition des Gitskans, ce mât totémique a été érigé à l’occasion d’une cérémonie traditionnelle. Il porte à la fois des symboles autochtones ancestraux tels que le hibou, la grenouille, l’ours et le corbeau, et des motifs contemporains tels que le castor, la feuille d’érable et le canot."
