Description

A large figure of a bear stands on top of a large post. It is almost identical to one at Kiutsta in which the bear is hollowed out to receive the bones of an infant. The Masset version was perhaps used only as a memorial post. Directly behind the mortuary is a marble memorial for A.E. Edenshaw.
