Description
Summary:This pole is located in the upper village of Gitsegukla. The pole appears to be a new generation of the Great-Protruding-(Being)-from-the-Lake pole from the lower village. At the top of the pole sits the Great-Protruding-(Being)-from-the-Lake, who is wearing a Brave's helmet with two kingfishers perched on it. There is a large undecorated section, followed by a row of attached Three-Beings-Across. One of which has a Hanging-Frog below his feet. Next is a beaver who is gnawing on something in his mouth, and at the bottom is Shadows or Reflections-in-the-Water depicted in the form of a human.
