A close up of a totem pole in Old Masset in the Queen Charlotte Islands in British Columbia, Canada.

Each carving on this totem pole represents a significant piece of culture for the Haida Indians in Old Masset on Graham Island in British Columbia, Canada. Some of the finest native carvers reside in Old Masset which is home to about 700 Haida people.The Haida people respect their privacy and their traditions and culture are taken very seriously.
