Totems



A week or so ago we went to our new riverfront park. There have been three new totem installed there. These are a few pictures that #1 son took of the largest totem. It is called "Log Jam". This totem is 26 feet tall. For some reason, I am fascinated about Totems because I didn't grow up around them. This one depicts the Europeans in the canoe and how the tribes assisted with the first settlers transport in Ferndale. Ferndale use to be known as Jam because of the the log jam that was upstream from the mouth of the Nooksack river. I believe there are a total of 6 totems in our downtown area. This certainly one the tallest.
