Prelude to the Study of a Totem Pole
" This Website, designed by a graduate student in anthropology and supported by the University of British Columbia's Museum of Anthropology, focuses on the history and meaning of a Thunderbird totem pole carved in the mid- to late-1800s by a member of the Gitanyow tribe from the upper Skeena river area in British Columbia. The innovative Website has three components. The In the Village section offers a history of the tribe, the carver, the commissioner (Chief Wixha), and the village in which it was erected. Betwixt and Between explores the time when "the Thunderbird totem pole was in storage or transit between its original home in the village of Gitanyow and its present home in the Museum of Anthropology." Finally, In the Museum discusses the pole's cultural and spiritual significances as determined by scholars. The result is a site not only well-linked and highly informative about the totem poles and culture of this area, but one that examines the processes by which "native" meanings are inevitably recontextualized by institutional involvement. A CD-ROM based on this site is due out this year. [DC]"
