Wolf & the Raven

Funds became available for the first time for the U.S. Forest Service to begin a program of moving and restoring totem poles found throughout southeastern Alaska. Through the employment of the Civilian Conservation Corps, skilled native carvers were able to save totem poles that were scattered in deserted native villages and relocate them to central areas where they would be readily available for visitors to see. Several totem pole parks were established, and this book tells of the parks, the restoration program and the legends and meanings of the totem poles.
