label: Description (Brief)
content: For Native Americans in the Pacific Northwest, totem poles often serve to proclaim a clan's status. The figures carved into the poles represent a clan's ancestral history as well as its rights and privileges. The totem pole shown on this pennant stands near Pike Street Market in Seattle and, in manner shown here, serves a different purpose, to attract tourists.
