This #TotemPole is laying on ground because it has a #broken #thunderbird #wing that needs to be put back on. The colours are very vivid in the rain.

After being stolen over a century ago, a totem pole at the Royal B.C. Museum in British Columbia has been awakened by members of the Nuxalk Nation and is beginning its journey home.
' "There is a really warm feeling in my heart," said Mara Pootlass, who has family connections to the pole. "I wanted to cry for joy because I could feel the spirit." '

“After being taken more than 100 years ago, a #TotemPole belonging to the #NuxalkNation will begin its journey home today. The pole, which has sat for years in the #RoyalBCMuseum in Victoria, BC, will be transported by truck to #BellaCoola, along BC's Central Coast. The more than 1,000-kilometre trip from the island to the mainland and up through the Interior is expected to take two or three days, depending on weather conditions. “

The amount of artistry and skill that went into the creation of each of these totems is not lost on me. Each one is a story of a family, a clan, a nation, a people.
I was deeply grateful to visit them on my trip to Vancouver this weekend. Thank you.

I forgot #ThrowbackThursday ! Well here's a little something I did ages ago. Was happy with how the rendering turned out tho I'm not sure it was wise for the company I worked for to have a totem pole in game without having any Native Americans on our team. #ConceptArt #TotemPole #environment #EnvironmentArt #art #MastoArt #CreativeToots
