Majestic spires, reminders of ages past, pierce the Northwest Coast forest.

3.0 out of 5 stars Totem pole photo review, May 9, 2000

Janette K. Bombardier "Janette B." (Vermont, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Art of the Totem: Totem Poles of the Northwest Coastal Indians (Paperback)

Art of the Totem republishes archaelogical work done in the 1930's on Totem poles of the Northwest Coastal Indians. This short paperback is brief on text, but long on black and white and some color photos of Totem poles and other Native American art. Location maps of various totem pole sites are also included. This book contains many more photographs than equivalent length books on the subject, but does not contain much information on the various characters found in the Totem and their symbolism or history.

3.0 out of 5 stars Just a start!, August 17, 2007

Lowly Peon "RG" (Southeast Alaska) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Art of the Totem: Totem Poles of the Northwest Coastal Indians (Paperback)

This is merely a start for an interest in Native coastal/northwest art.

It was interesting for me, living here, to get some perspective about the fabulous pole art here, and others near by.
