Carving a Totem Pole

By Vickie Jensen

Book Overview

Long before their history was written, the Nisga'a and other people of North America used totem poles to teach about the past.

Carving a Totem Pole

Excellent. Giving the history and background of the carver, his style, the "why" he carves his way, along with the "how".
