Carving A Totem Pole

Through text and sepia-toned photographs, author Vickie Jensen takes children on a three-month adventure into a Northwest Coast carving shed as Nisga's artist Norman Tait and crew create a 42-foot (12.8 m) totem pole.

Carving A Totem Pole

CARVING A TOTEM POLE invites readers behind the scenes to learn about choosing the perfect giant cedar tree, the laborious processes of rough hewing and fine carving, and finally the traditional native ceremonies for raising a completed totem pole. The simple, straightforward text and striking photographs show clearly that carving a totem pole is both a technical artistic achievement and a spiritual process as well.

This book chronicles an art form that was almost lost—and now is being passed down to a new generation of young carvers. CARVING A TOTEM POLE is an excellent resource for students, teachers and others who want to discover the culture, art and traditions of Northwest Coast native peoples.
