Pole of the Whale Remains

Date
1927
Photographer: Barbeau, Marius, 1883-1969
Description

This looks like a segment of Pole of the Whale, carved for Chief Hleek. This image is attributable to Barbeau because he arrived in 1927 after the religious revival of 1918 when many of the poles in Gitlaxt'aamiks were destroyed.
