Each magnificent cedar totem carved by Lead Carver Dale Faulstich represents an important story and belief of the Jamestown S’Klallam Tribe. Located in Washington State, each of these masterpieces features “details, the intricate carving, and the patterns of color” that defy description. “To see all that,” write the authors, “to read every story in wood, you must stand before each pole, close enough to see the images, to hear the wood speak.” Totem Poles of the Jamestown S’Klallam Tribe allows readers to “stand before” these totem poles and to view these stirring works of art and culture through colorful photographs and excellent storytelling.
