Klawock is the home to many totem pole carvings, mostly grave markers, sepulchers, and commemorative carvings. These carvings all came from the old Tlingit town of Tuxekan. Carvers from Tuxekan practiced a distinctive form of wood carving in which undecorated portions of the totem pole were left squared.
