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: Isn't this one of those "basically a population heatmap" things?
gollark: Well, I have a lot of *music I like*, but this is inherently very subjective.
gollark: I'm not really sure what to do about this or if it's much of a problem, but the sentence structure seems kind of simplistic.
gollark: Sure? I'm also not sure about `of the less fortunate`, that's weird grammar.
