Chief Skedans Mortuary Pole, Stanley Park, Vancouver
___
Stanley Park is a beautiful, peaceful greenspace on a sprawling peninsula in the heart of bustling Vancouver. The Park’s collection of native American totem poles is eye-catching and conjures marvelment and reverence at the creativity of the people of the Pacific Northwest that made these exquisite carvings.
In these photos from a trip there not long ago it was challenging to separate the poles from the surrounding trees so these don’t do justice to the majesty of these enduring artifacts.
