The totem poles found throughout the villages in this area symbolize the creatures, myths or gods important to the tribes. They, along with the masks, are an important art form but also a spiritual expression. The totem pole in Kingcome is anchored by Cedar Man, the symbol of the cedar tree that supplies shelter, clothing and food to the tribe.
