Posterior side of Howkan Memorial Pole

Date
1968
Photographer: De Menil, Adelaide
Description

Remaining Kaigani Haida monumental poles at the village of Howkan. One difference from the Kaigani Haidas compared to the Haidas on Haida Gwaii is the ""ribbing"" in the ears. Both poles have the sgil (potlatch rings) above which likely means they are Memorial poles.
