Carved History

The Totem Poles and House Posts of Sitka National Historical Park

Sue Thorsen and Marilyn R. Knapp



Price: $6.95

Tall totems stand along a scenic coastal trail in a spectacular rainforest setting. Each piece is an intricately carved art form that tells the history of the Native Tlingit and Haida people who have called this area in Southeast Alaska home for hundreds of years.

The only guide to Sitka National Historical Park's totem collection sets the stage for exploration while unraveling some of the mystery behind these intricate carvings. This new updated edition inludes an expanded introduction, descriptions of several new carvings added to the park's collection, and the same in-depth look at each totem pole that has made this award-winning book an essential tool for understanding the carved history of the park since its first publication in 1980.

Silent Storytellers
Silent Storytellers

Nestled in an emerging forest, totem poles stand silently—their ancient stories older than the wood itself. The poles of Totem Bight State Historical Park stand quiet guard to the Alaska Native legends upon which they are based.
