Art of the Totem
(Revised) - Full Synopsis
Majestic spires, reminders of ages
past, the carved figures of totem poles pierce the
coastal forests. A medium through which modern-day
anthropologists can learn much about the history of
Northwest Coast tribal cultures, these totem poles
illustrate a multitude of fascinating myths and
traditions.
First written for an obscure U.S. government publication
in 1932, renowned Canadian anthropologist Marius
Barbeau’s classic work on the history of the development
and significance of Northwest Coast totem pole art is
now updated with beautiful color photographs |
