Canadian First Nation Carved totem pole on Vancouver Island British Columbia
The totem pole designs that most people recognize today were, for the most part, developed in the last 200 years. Most historians and other experts agree that totem pole carving did not reach its peak until the nineteenth century, when many coastal First Nations were involved in the fish and fur trade with Europeans.
