Situé en bordure du parc Beacon Hill, en face de la plage de Dallas Road, il est difficile de ne pas voir ce totem puisqu'il mesure plus de 38 mètres de haut ! Érigé en l'honneur des indiens natifs de Colombie Britannique qui ont perdu la vie durant les combats des deux guerres mondiales, il a pu être acquis grâce à une souscription publique en 1956. Il représente Gee-Eksem (le légendaire premier homme de la nation Kwa-Kiutl) surmonté des animaux du monde spirituel de cette tribu : l'oiseau cannibale, l'orque, le lion de mer, l'aigle, la loutre, la baleine, le castor, le phoque et le loup.

No merece la pena visitar este tótem. Ir a Canada para ver un simple palo lleno de garabatos no te satisfecha. Lo único que me sorprendió era que en lo más alto del tótem seguía garabateado.
Not worth visiting this totem. Go to Canada to see a simple stick filled not you satisfied scribbles. The only thing that surprised me was that at the top of the totem was still scribbled.
