Leaving New Castle Island

After spending about 3 hours on the island, it was time to return to the bigger Vancouver Island. (It is sort of peculiar that we travelled from a big island to a smaller island and back!) We didn’t actually complete the hike around the island as planned, but we had as much fun as we could anyways (considering the circumstances). One thing that sticks out on New Castle island, as well as Vancouver island; and the coast of British Columbia is the abundant Totem poles. Very interesting tall sculptures made of Cedar trees for the most part. These totems symbolize indigenous history, culture and mythology of local tribes. Thanks for stopping by.

The totem poles on New Castle Island looked really amazing.I really like photography a lot, but I don’t have the skill to take good pictures. Your photography makes me very happy. One day, I will also become a photographer like you.

i have always seen those poles in movies or pictures, it would feel strange to see them in real life... a memory of an exterminated people

Well likely the tribe that is associated with the pole is likely still around, but I don't know any details.

Greetings,
The totem poles look taller than I fought when I saw the photos.
It is interesting to learn more about the cultural context in your article.
Thanks

Yes they can be very tall in fact. Unusual pieces of history.
