About this product

Product Information

The spectacular totem poles of British Columbia and Alaska, on which appear birds, animals, and unrecognizable creatures, are found nowhere else in the world. To save specimens of this now-abandoned American Indian craft and make them accessible to Alaska visitors, the United States Forest Service in 1938 began placing Tlingit and Haida totem poles in natural settings near Ketchikan, Wrangel, and Sitka. The Wolf and the Raven describes the poles, their place in the Indian culture of their day, the myths and legends they recount, and the history of the restoration program.

  • A classic, informative book

    This is a fairly advanced, educational book about Southeast Alaska's totem poles. Their differentiating designs, methods of creation, and meanings will inform the interested reader. Fully recommended.

  • THe Wolf and the Raven

    After returning from a trip to Alaska, I became interested in learning more about the legends that were carved into totem poles. This book is excellent for that purpose. The one problem is that the pictures are in black and white, many of them grainy and hard to decipher. All in all. I'm very pleased with this book and would highly recommend to anyone who is interest in Indian legends.
