Totem Kwakiutl

Things to do at the Parc Public Art

Henry and Tony Hunt's work was sculpted from a single red cedar trunk from British Columbia, the ancestral home of the Kwakiutl communities (also known under the name Kwakwaka'wakw).

The totem, which stands more than 20 metres high, is comprised of six mythological figures symbolizing the union between the various Kwakiutl tribes.

The totem's mast is the last vestige of the Indians of Canada Pavilion at Expo 67, the world's fair in Montréal. It was restored in the summer of 2007 by the sculptor's family members in accordance with contemporary Kwakiutl values.


The six mythological figures of the totem, from top to bottom:

  • Gwa'wis (Sea Crow)
  • Gila (Grizzly Bear and Salmon)
  • Sisiutl (Two-headed Snake)
  • Makhinukhw (Killer Whale with Seal in Its Mouth)
  • Tsawi (Beaver)
  • Numas (Old Man)

Getting to the artwork

To make it easier to get around, here is the exact location of the artwork at Parc Jean-Drapeau posted on Google Maps.

Subway Station

The Jean-Drapeau subway station is located on Île Sainte-Hélène, in the heart of Parc Jean-Drapeau. To get to the Parc easily and quickly, the subway is still the best way to go!

River shuttle

During the summer season, Parc Jean-Drapeau visitors can use the river shuttle as a means of transportation, from the Vieux-Port de Montréal (Jacques-Cartier pier) and the city of Longueuil.

Users can also bring along their bikes and they have access to a network of cycling paths at each stop.

STM shuttle

Three STM shuttles provide a connection between the Jean-Drapeau subway station and various attractions:

  • 767 (summer season only)
  • 768 (summer season only)
  • 777 (every day of the year)
    • Jean-Drapeau Subway Station
    • Casino de Montréal
    • Since June 19, 2023, the 777 bus line is extended to downtown Montreal.

Walking

People can enjoy many of the cycling paths to get to or pass through the Parc Jean-Drapeau, either running or walking.

With more than 25 kilometres of trails and pathways, the Parc is a pleasant spot for hiking, all year round.

Parking

Motorists can get to Parc Jean-Drapeau by taking the Jacques Cartier Bridge or the Concorde Bridge.

Nearby parking areas: P1, P5
