Totem Energy

Everything on the earth has a purpose, every disease an herb to cure it, and every person a mission. This is the Indian theory of existence. [Mourning Dove, Salish,1888-1936]

 

Totem poles are monuments created by First Nations of the Pacific Northwest to represent and commemorate ancestry, histories, people, or events. Totem poles are typically created out of red cedar, a malleable wood relatively abundant in the Pacific Northwest, and would be erected to be visible within a community.
