Imbued with mystery to outsider eyes, the fierce, carved symbols silently spoke of territories, legends, memorials, and paid debts. Today many of these cultural icons are preserved for the public to enjoy in heritage parks and historical centers through southeast Alaska. And, after nearly a century of repression, totem carving among Alaska's Tlingit, Haida, Tsimshian peoples is flourishing again.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this newly revised edition of \u003ci\u003eAlaska's Totem Poles\u003c\/i\u003e, readers learn about the history and use of totems, clan crests, symbolism, and much more. A special section describes where to go to view totems. Author Pat Kramer traveled throughout the homelands of the Totem People--along Alaska's Panhandle, the coast of British Columbia, and into the Northwest--meeting the people, learning their stores, and researching and photographing totem poles. Foreword writer David A.
