Brilliant.
I am really enjoying witnessing this event in that lovely place of yours.
Yay! I love this post, I've been waiting all week for photos, and they don't disappoint! Thanks Carolyn!
must be extremely heavy and rewarding to create it.
Thank you for sharing the beautiful photos. I haven't had a chance to ask Erica how the pole-raising and potlatch went. It looks like the weather held and the event was enjoyed by all.
Moving the totem pole is quite a community project. It's a beautiful work of art.
The totem pole is carved from a western red cedar with the heartwood(core)and a little less than have the back removed. Cedar is very strong and extremely light when it dries...an then...many hands make light work!
Kay, Erica was absolutely stunning at the potlatch and worked hard as well.

Thanks for sharing. I would have loved to have been able to have participated and watched it in person but I am happy to be able to see it through your pictures
