Jensen, Vickie, text and photos by, foreword by Norman Tait, - Carving a Totem Pole.

NY, Holt, (1996). 1st Amer ed. G in G DJ ex-library. Totem poles were used to teach us about the past. It was important that children know their ancestors at an early age. because they too would become the history books of our people. (from introduction by Norman Tait, Nisga's Artist). When a totem pole is raised it is like the birth of an important person. The pole is given a name and treated with the same kind of respect you would give a chief. Like the elders, each pole is a teacher, a storyteller. The Nisga'a and other peoples of N. America used totem poles to teach about the past. It was important for children to learn their cultural history back to mythical times. Library markings.
