Totem pole
Description
The source is a model totem pole created in the period 1900-1947 by Henry Young. The totem pole is black and included engraving of animals such as an eagle. The totem pole is a small size meant to replicate the large original totem poles of different First Nation communities.
The piece was created in a period that fits with the idea that artifacts and artwork such as this totem pole were initially created to be sold to Europeans. This source therefore shows the effect of European influence on the 20th Century British Columbian economy, as well as the importance of history and culture in British Columbia.
