A totem pole at Port Simpson [Lax-Kw'alaam]

A black and white landscape photograph showing a totem pole. The pole has at least five animal or human faces carved on the side facing the camera, which may include beaver, frog and bird designs. Shrubs can be seen around the pole's base. Immediately behind the pole is a wooden fence with a gate in it. This connects to a wooden building, one side of which can be on the far left of the image. Trees and a hilside can be seen in the background. Original caption (handwritten in ink beneath): 'Totem Pole. Port Simpson'.

Port Simpson in Canada was renamed Lax-Kw'alaams in 1986.

Totem poles are a type of monumental carving made by Indigenous peoples of western Canada and the northwest USA.
