Object Details
- Description (Brief)
- Souvenir pennant with stamped image of a totem pole, one of a half dozen in the city of Seattle, Washington, this, the best known, in Pioneer Square; white on red ground; yellow left edge and ties. Used by donor.
- For Native Americans in the Pacific Northwest, totem poles often serve to proclaim a clan's status. The figures carved into the poles represent a clan's ancestral history as well as its rights and privileges. The totem pole shown on this pennant stands near Pike Street Market in Seattle and, in manner shown here, serves a different purpose, to attract tourists.
