This keychain Trackable is created in honor of Alaska's Native Peoples and some of their best known artwork.
Totem poles are monumental sculptures carved from large trees, by the indigenous peoples of the Pacific Northwest Coast of North America.
The meanings of the designs on totem poles are as varied as the cultures that make them. Totem poles may recount familiar legends, clan lineages, or notable events. Some poles celebrate cultural beliefs while others are mostly artistic. Certain types of totem poles are part of mortuary structures, and incorporate grave boxes with carved supporting poles, or recessed backs for grave boxes. Poles illustrate stories that commemorate historic persons, represent shamanic powers, or provide objects of public ridicule.
