A detail from one of 14 carved and painted poles at Totem Bight State Historical Park in Ketchikan.
Midway down the Kadjuk Bird Pole is a Raven is with his breast forming the headdress of his wife, Fog Woman. She holds two salmon that she produced—the first salmon in the world.
The stories that totem poles tell may be a myth, a legend, or honour Indigenous peoples through symbols.
