The Tsimshian Indians and Their Arts is a study of one of the most creative of Northwest Coast Indian cultures, which is here compared and related to the life and art of neighboring Indian peoples in British Columbia and Alaska. The structure of Tsimshian society, its religion and mythology, drama and dance, painting and sculpture, metalwork and weaving - all are examined and illustrated in a manner which will fascinate anyone interested in primitive cultures in general and American Indian societies in particular.

The present cedar pole is a duplicate of the original, which was taken down after suffering damage from age and vandals. The book's second section explains Northwest Indian symbols used in poles and carvings seen around the area. 
Descriptions and photos of several area totem poles are included along with maps showing where other totem poles are located in the Greater Seattle area. 
This book was originally published by the University of Washington Press.
