In the Haida culture, the cedar tree is known as the 'tree of life'. Traditionally, when babies were born, they were placed in cedar boxes. When people died, their bodies were also placed in cedar boxes. The bark of the trees has many other uses as well. It can be woven into ropes, baskets and hats. These trees are also used for one of the well-known symbols of Haida culture - totem poles. Haida totem poles tell a story through the representation of human, animal and supernatural figures. We spoke with Haida carver Tyler York to learn more about this incredible tradition.

Dans la culture haïda, le cèdre rouge (ou thuya) est appelé « arbre de la vie ». Traditionnellement, on couchait les nouveau-nés dans une boîte en cèdre. Les défunts, eux aussi, trouvaient le repos dans des boîtes en cèdre. Cet « arbre de la vie » était aussi utilisé d’une foule d’autres façons ; l’écorce pouvait être tressée en cordes, en paniers et en chapeaux, tandis que le bois lui-même servait à tailler le plus connu des symboles de la culture haïda : le mât totémique. Les mâts haïdas racontent tous une histoire grâce à des représentations d’animaux, d’humains et de créatures surnaturelles. Nous avons parlé au sculpteur haïda Tyler York pour en apprendre plus sur cette incroyable tradition.

In this video course, you'll learn how to paint totemic art in a traditional Native American style. Students are encouraged to choose their own totem animal (or symbol) to use in their assignment.
Totemic art is found in cultures all around the world. Students may elect to draw inspiration for their assignment from any region of the world. Students will learn how to use layers to build intricate designs and will be encouraged to use abstraction rather than aim for a realistic painting of an animal.
This lesson is compatible with Painter X3 and newer. A custom workspace and brushes are available to make it easy to follow along.

Luke Parnell is an artist of Haida and Nisga’a heritage who, through the use of traditional techniques from the Northwest Coast, investigates contemporary social issues. Parnell also simultaneously acknowledges the historical implications of his method of working within his practice.
Traditional Northwest Coast art was centred on the convergence of intangible and material wealth: an individual’s rights and privileges and the objects that represented them. Parnell’s work continues to address ideas of rights, ownership, and privilege in the context of his own experience.
Parnell has been a professional artist for ten years. Having graduated from Emily Carr with distinction, Parnell is the recipient of the 2012 Winsor Gallery Graduate Student Award. He has exhibited work across Canada, recent exhibitions include: Transportation and Renewal at the Seymour Gallery in 2013, Vancouver; Re-contextualizing the De-consecrated at Winsor Gallery in 2014; and a feature at Winsor Gallery in 2015, entitled Concurrent. His work is included in notable collections such as the National Gallery of Canada, and private collection across Canada. Parnell is currently an instructor at Emily Carr University of Art + Design. Additionally, Parnell was a recipient of the 2016 BC Creative Achievement Awards for First Nations Art. An award that celebrates artistic excellence in both traditional and contemporary visual art.

David Boxley is a Native American artist from the Tsimshian tribe in Alaska. He is a dancer, songwriter, and wood carver. He also is an ambassador for Tsimshian culture.
DAVID BOXLEY: "We call it art now, but it was a way for people to say this is how I am. This belongs to me, or this is my clan, or this is my crest, this is my family history, carved and painted on wood."
Mr. Boxley says Christian missionaries were a strong influence in his community while he was growing up. As a result, he learned little about his native culture.
While working as a teacher, he began researching the history of his people. In 1986, he left teaching so that he could spend time wood-working and telling others about Tsimshian culture.
DAVID BOXLEY: "I guess I came along at the right time. Our people really needed a shot in the arm. Our culture, it was - it wasn't very prominent after all that missionary influence, and years and years of not having anyone be in that kind of position to guide."
Almost 30 years later, he completed his 70th totem pole. It is now part of the permanent collection at the National Museum of the American Indian in Washington, DC.
DAVID BOXLEY: "We don't use sandpaper. So we use the knives and the chisels to get it as smooth as possible. Get the lines clean."
This totem pole started as a seven-meter-long piece of red cedar. Mr. Boxley began carving it months ago at his home in Washington state.
DAVID BOXLEY: "This one is going to be seen by millions over the next hundred years or whatever, you know. And it's not just me and my son; it's all of my people that are proud...my tribe."
On the day when the totem pole officially became part of the museum, Mr. Boxley's family and friends performed for a crowd.
Then, the pole was shown for the first time.
Thanks to David Boxley, the museum is able to show a fine example of Tsimshian culture to its visitors. I'm Kelly Nuxoll.

As a child growing up in the Pacific Northwest, I had the opportunity to see a few totem poles and was transfixed. From the moment I took up the chainsaw, I wanted to make my own... but with non-traditional designs. This piece is steadily weathering in the back alley courtyard of the FORT (atx). I like to imagine it infuses the space with the energies of the animal spirits represented.
Short-Eared Owl - being in the right place at the right time, as well as passion and imagination.
Horse - wind, travel, freedom and power.
Snake - transformation, healing and magic.
Raccoon - knowing how to wear masks: being the person you need to be in various situations, working with different people.
Turtle - the earth, grounded-ness, power and strength, connects us with our creative source.

Recap of TOTEM - New Works by Sam Flores Art
Originally hailing from Albuquerque, New Mexico. Flores grew up immersed in the vastness of the Southwestern desert, spending his time as a youth skating, drawing and honing his graffiti skills.
Flores' subject matter includes a myriad of anthropomorphic characters and beautiful goddesses with styles being inspired by Japanese Edo period influenced landscapes, urban contemporary/ graf inspired montages, pop-surrealist environments and his most recent works which are inspired by Mexican pulp comic art and classical portraiture.

Artist Matt Stewart created a 290 square-meter Street Art mural inspired by TOTEM that will permanently bring colors to the city of Brisbane, QLD, Australia!
It took him 8 days to paint the 4 columns of the Coronation Drive Highway and transform them into surreal art pieces inspired by the theme of Man's evolution and the colorful make-up designs of 4 TOTEM characters.

(Part 1/2) Garden totems and bird baths are really easy to make from used glass dishes. This quick tutorial shows the entire process from start to finish. If you are new to this type of crafting, this will show you every step of the process so you can do it yourself. It's a great way to make use of old dishes and plates from yard sales and thrit stores.
Adhesive: I use GE Silicone II CLEAR sealant. This forms a bond strong enough that you can leave the totem outside year round (even in Canadian winters).

In the mid to late 18th century, missionary schools were opened on Native American reservations in the U.S. The goal was to convert young people to Christianity and immerse them in Western culture. Native languages and culture were discouraged. Over decades, many grew up knowing little about their culture or languages. VOA's Jeff Swicord reports on one Tsimshian tribesman who has dedicated his life to keeping his native culture alive.
