Majestic spires, reminders of the ages past, the carved figures of totem poles pierce the coastal forests. First written as 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 colour photographs.
