The totem in Victor Steinbrueck Park, 2006
Description and history
Oliver and Bender designed the 50-foot (15 m) totem based on Haida imagery, and Bender carved the sculpture.[2] The top of the totem depicts a raven holding a Salish spinning whorl. Below the raven are human figures, a killer whale with a protruding dorsal fin, another smaller raven, and a bear holding a hawk. The pole is mounted on a concrete base and supported by a steel beam.[2]

gollark: It's basically the same as CUDA, as far as I know.
gollark: There's nothing intrinsically wrong with them. They're pretty competitive in lots of price ranges.
