| Summary: | Clan House and poles at Totem Bight. The totems at Totem Bight were either salvaged or replicated from older poles that had decayed or become overgrown at their original locations in Alaskan Native villages. The Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) created the park at Totem Bight, and several other similar parks in Southeast Alaska. CCC workers brought poles to these parks from other locations. The government then hired local workers to restore the totems. When restoration was not possible, replicas were carved. |
