The totem pole (also known as a monumental pole) is a tall structure carved out of cedar wood, created by Northwest Coast Indigenous peoples to serve variously as a signboard, genealogical record and memorial. Some well-known carvers include Mungo Martin, Charles Edenshaw, Henry Hunt, Richard Hunt, and Stanley Hunt.
What’s a Totem Pole?
A totem pole or monumental pole is a tall structure created by Northwest Coast Indigenous peoples that showcases a nation’s, family’s or individual’s history and displays their rights to certain territories, songs, dances and other aspects of their culture. Totem poles can also be used as memorials and to tell stories. Carved of large, straight red cedar and painted vibrant colours, the totem pole is representative of both coastal Indigenous culture and Northwest Coast Indigenous Art.
History of Totem Poles in Canada
Archeological evidence suggests that the northern peoples of the West Coast were among the first to create totem poles before the arrival of Europeans. The practice then spread south along the coast into the rest of British Columbia and Washington state.
First Nations credited with making some of the earliest totem poles include the Haida, Nuxalk (Bella Coola), Kwakwaka’wakw, Tsimshian and Łingít. The Coast Salish people also make carvings out of cedar, but they are not really totem poles. The Coast Salish carve planks of wood that attach to the interior or exterior of their ceremonial houses.

Comments from our guests and members
Members and guests attending our weekly meetings are very important to us. Based on your comments we are able to produce many more educational, inspiring, and entertaining weekly meetings.
Following are some of the comments we have received. Would you please send us your comments?
November 21. Excellent TED talk by General Colin Powell. It made me think how much good the club's support of the Imagination Library is doing to enable children in the Northwest Territories to learn to read. Kimberley's request, the Flamenco guitarist, brought back memories of an evening in Granada, Spain.
-- David Werrett, E-Club of Canada One, District 5370
November 22. Dear Future Foundations video was disturbing indeed. Another interesting meeting.
-- Sharon Blaker, E-Club of Canada One, District 5370
November 22. Kids lying - very entertaining. Environment- saying we are sorry. An apology ALWAYS has to be followed by an active change. That change has to start now and it has to start immediately!
-- Vicki Horsfield, E-Club of Canada One, District 5370
November 22. Loved the food for thought. “Dear Future Generations: Sorry” was powerful.
-- Nance MacLeod, E-Club of Canada One, District 5370
November 21. I really enjoyed the Ted Talk on lying. I had read an article about the application of this study, but the Ted Talk gave a good background explanation.
-- Kimberley Dominguez, E-Club of Canada One, District 5370
Can you really tell if a kid is lying? Very entertaining and educational.
-- Martin Secker, Rotary Club of Kingston, District 7040

The manual is geared to Rotary club and district leaders and features information that’s most relevant to their roles.

The manual covers these key areas:

• Carrying out Rotary's mission: Includes the structure, policies, and procedures of the programs of RI and the Foundation
• International Meetings: Includes the RI Convention, Council on Legislation, and International Assembly
