Haida Crest Pole

A reproduction corner post made approximately 1980 celebrates a Yaadaas clan house. The images include a Village watchman, Raven and a Bear; these portray the heraldic emblems of the Yaadaas clan from Old Kasaan on Prince of Wales Island, located in southern Alaska. Here the Haida lived until 1893. The post is located in the Sitka National Historic Park, Alaska.
Card was sent by a Postcrosser in trade.
