Fun Facts

Standing at 40 feet, the totem pole in Totem Park is a striking example of indigenous artistry and storytelling.

Each totem pole tells a unique story, often representing family lineage, historical events, or cultural beliefs of the indigenous peoples.

The park serves as an educational resource, showcasing the rich heritage and traditions of the Tlingit, Haida, and Tsimshian peoples.

The totem poles are traditionally carved from red cedar, a wood valued for its durability and workability.

The park is part of efforts to preserve and promote the cultural heritage of Alaska's indigenous communities.
