Totem Poles ~ An Exploration by Pat Kramer
“This website explores the myth and magic from the west coast of British Columbia to Alaska.”
It is a great resource. It provides the full story about totem poles including history, meaning, stories, and much more. I am particullay impressed with the detailed visuals and insite that this site provides. It is a prime example of how a culture can use technology to educate and eliminate myths. This site works toward preserving west coast native culture. Take a look at this site. I learned a great deal from this site and enjoyed the many pictures too!
Also for general interest for those of you who do not live on the West Coast here is a video that displays various totems & carvings:
