content: Ian Reid (Heiltsuk), Clyde Tallio (Nuxalk) and Jennifer Kramer (anthropologist) of the delegation from Bella Bella, Bella Coola and Rivers Inlet communities of British Columbia made the following comments during the Recovering Voices Community Research Visit May 20th - 24th, 2013. All of these things depicted on the totem pole are how we came into being as we are today. It's the way things were at the time in our ancestors' world before they became mortal beings like we are today. There are some elements that are similar to Captain Carpenter. Maybe this was carved by his teacher or maybe he did this when he was extremely young.
