- Object Description
- The pole tells of the five tests of Tsikumin, chief shaman of the Red Cedar Bark Dance and founder of Qui-Owa Sutinuk, ancestors of the carver. The Red Cedar Bark Dance was performed in Kitsilano Park during Vancouver's Jubilee in 1936. Over time, the original pole deteriorated due to weathering and vandalism, and was replaced in 2004, carved by Calvin Hunt, Mervin Child, and John Livingston.
