PLATE 90<br />

Totem pole carved for sale (1926-30?). The men shown here, who carved the pole, are B. A. Jack (1860-1958) and Tom Cox (?-ca.<br />

1921), only son of the shaman Tek-'ic. The boy on the left is Willy Brown (1916-dcceased) and the boy on the right is Charley Brown<br />

(1916-51). All are Kwackqwan. The carving on the pole represents, from top to bottom: Eagle or Thunderbird, Bear holding Kats (who<br />

married a bear), and Beaver. These would be the crests of the CAnkuqedi, Teqwedi, and Qalyix-Kagwantan sibs, all of the Eagle-Wolf<br />

moiety. (Photograph taken on the dock before the pole was shipped; courtesy Mr. and Mrs. Harry K. Bremner.)<br />
