Alaskan governor John Brady was interested in preserving Native art when he went to various villages in southeast Alaska to collect totem poles and other artwork for a totem park that he was planning. The totem poles that he received from Native leaders were displayed first at the 1904 Louisiana Purchase Exposition in St. Louis and at the Lewis and Clark Exposition in Portland the following year. In 1906 the poles were returned to Alaska and placed along the pathways at Sitka National Historical Park. Several poles would be loaned to the 1964 New York World's Fair. Many of the poles are replicas of the originals due to physical deterioration. The original of this totem pole was donated by Edward Scott of the Kaigani Haida village of Klinkwan.
