Dina, Here's another site about Haida art. Although other tribes have started making totem poles the Haida on the west coast of what is now British Columbia and Alaska were the first to do so. This site actually tells about design principles found in their art.
http://www.mala.bc.ca/www/discover/educate/posters/hend1.htm This is a very interesting site with lots of information about the poles. http://users.imag.net/~sry.jkramer/nativetotems/default.html The poles tell a story about the clan or their mythology. And while we think the 'top of the totem pole' is a good place to be, it is actually at the bottom where the most important character is placed. Heather Abbotsford, BC No expert on Haida art but I've lived here for a long time. - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
