Description
Summary:Yaadaas Crest Corner Pole (Second Twin). The two original Yaadaas Crest Corner Poles (or twins) stood at the front exterior corners of the Yaadaas clan house at Old Kasaanon Prince of Wales Island. The figures from top to bottom are the Village Watchman, Raven in Human Form, Raven, and a bear. This appears to be a recarving done by CCC carvers in the early 1940s. Nathan Jackson and Steve Brown carved another reproduction in 1982. One of the two original Yaadaas Crest Corner Poles survives, and is now exhibited in Totem Hall at the park visitor centre.
