EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the majesty and rich cultural history of the Totem Pole in Seattle's Pioneer Square, installed in 1913. The towering totem pole, carved from a single red cedar tree, is a testament to the enduring connection between the indigenous peoples of the Pacific Northwest and their ancestral lands. The Totem Pole in Pioneer Square is a replica of an original Tlingit totem pole, gifted to the city of Seattle by the Tlingit tribe of Alaska. The pole, which stands at over 30 feet tall, is adorned with intricate carvings of various animals and mythological beings, including the Raven, a central figure in Tlingit mythology. The Raven, depicted with outstretched wings and sharp, beady eyes, represents transformation and creation in Tlingit culture. According to legend, the Raven brought light to the world by stealing it from the Box of Day and Night. This powerful symbol of Tlingit heritage and storytelling is just one of the many intricate carvings that adorn the pole. This photograph, taken in 1913, provides a glimpse into the past, showcasing the deep connection between the indigenous peoples of the Pacific Northwest and their cultural traditions. The Totem Pole in Pioneer Square remains an important symbol of Seattle's history and a reminder of the rich cultural heritage of the Tlingit people.
