In Totem Pole Carving: Bringing A Log To Life, writer, editor and photographer Vickie Jensen collaborates with renowned Nisga'a artist Norman Tait and his crew of young carvers to document the actual process of creating a 42-foot Native American totem pole from a single log. The informative text is enhanced with 125 photographs and captures the charged atmosphere in which the pole is cared including blistered hands, camaraderie, pride in solving problems, awareness of tradition, and the joy of creation. A fascinating book which will interest woodworkers and sculptors, Totem Pole Carving is also a very highly recommended addition to personal, school, and community library Native American studies collections.
