Kwakiutl Totem

Access map: Public art (french only) (.PDF, 160 ko)

Located in the Floralies Gardens close to the Canada Pavilion on Île Notre-Dame.


Created in 1967 by Tony and Henry Hunt, the Totem Pole remains today the sole witness to the “Indians of Canada” Pavilion from Expo 67. The representations of animal figures from the lineage of a family or clan appear both familiar and mythic.

 

The impressive Totem was carved by aboriginal artists from British Columbia. During the summer of 2007, it was restored by the artist’s family members according to the Kwakiutl ancestral tradition.
