Totem Poles at Brockton Point, Stanley Park, Vancouver, BC

The Thunderbird House Post Totem Pole is a striking visual treat. The colourful, open wings of the thunderbird make it probably the most famous and favourite totem pole in Stanley Park. Carved house posts are used in traditional First Nations cedar houses to support the huge roof beams. This pole is a replica of a house post carved by Kwakwaka'wakw artist Charlie James in the early 1900s. (Source: Totem Poles in Stanley Park, Vancouver, Canada).
