Totem poles

Totem poles are some of the earliest art forms done by Native Americans. they are monuments to the creativity. They are detailed works that took time and concentration on a huge scale. They must have taken for ever to create. The story behind them are just as creative. they tell stories, they show liniage and they make down notable events. And then there are things called shame poles that are meant to degrade individuals or groups. There will always be stories that we never hear. The imaginative events that happened are always going to be lost in history. We have little reminders of what has happened. Totems will always be my favorite. I even have a homemade one at my house. i wonder what historians in the future will think my life was by looking at my homemade artwork.
