Totem poles record history or events. Ours is a bit rough; but 16 year old son and husband E were walking at the beach at my parents' place last December and found this branch. They put it in the garden. This week, when my parents visited, they brought this branch back and left it somewhere where 16 year old son could stumble upon it. We are recording the dates that the totem pole gets transported. It will have to journey back north next time we head there.
